To begin with, HGTTG (pronounced Hih-Gih-Ti-TIG-Gih), is a wonderful book. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and it had a strange sense of humour, which of course makes sense, and it makes you laugh, but that doesn't stop it being strange.
The humour in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is fantastic, and it makes you think, and it provokes thought. That Man vs God argument was one such example.
God: I refuse to prove I exist, for proof means certainty, and certainty replaces faith. And without faith I am nothing.
Man: But the Babel Fish cannot have evolved naturally, which proves you exist, and therefore, you don't. You said it yourself.
God vanishes in a puff of smoke.
I found this hysterical.
Humour is strange. It's one of those things that have always been there, inside of us. I don't know why five people laugh and ten don't. I don't know why those ten laugh at something that isn't funny. Chances are, I'd grin slightly, but that'd be it...
