Douglas Adams: There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Perfect imperfection - beautiful disorder... Grace Ladder leading to nothing - bliss and primordial space Here are footprints of the future present past Here are the seeds of questions not yet asked What is it? Where is it? When is it real first life? Should it be nature in line to claim the right? What is it? Where is it? When is it real first life? Only a sleeper in time dare brave the night..... Here in the chaos chasm lies the dust that will be God someday Innocence molded to purpose - given soul and a sword to lead a faith Here is truth as yet untainted by Word Here is reason to whole to be heard.... What is it? Where is it? When is it real first life? Should it be nature in line to claim the right? What is it? Where is it? When is it real first life? Only a sleeper in time dare brave the night.....

Douglas Adams: The story so far In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Many races believe that it was created by some sort of god, but he Jatravatid people of Viltvodl VI believe that the entire universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the great green arcleseizure. The Jatravatids, who live in perpetual fear of a time they call "the coming of the great white handkerchief", are small blue creatures with more than firfty arms each who are therefore unique for being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel.

Destruction lurking in the dark Marble wiped clean for a new start Nature reshuffeling the cards It doesn't help to duck and cover now. Run away run away but you can't hide This one's gonna take away your light Who will be destined to survive Mother strike a match and burn it down Burn it down with a thousand fires Let it grow 'till the final light goes Old eyes watch the atmosphere turn black The final hour is at hand Time again has made an impact Separate the beast make room for man Spinning in a neverending nightmare All is lost 'n nothing whole Unforgiving, so indifferent nothing spared Leave just some and leave them cold Ashes giving the world a new breed From a hole it took control Burn it down with a thousand fires Let it grow 'till the final light goes Kingdoms fall and they never come back Yes, the final hour is at hand The mighty giants gone forever Separate the beast make room for man Old eyes watch the atmosphere turn black Make no mistake it's your last stand Time again has made an impact Everything will change 'cause here comes man…

George Carlin: Let me tell you about endangered species, alright? Saving endagered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. It's what's got us in trouble in the first place, doesn't anybody understand that, interfering with nature. Over 90% of the species that have ever lived on this planet are gone, they're exctinct. We didn't kill them all. They just disappeared. That's what nature does. Douglas Adams: We haven't even finished burying the artificial dinosaur skeletons in the crust, yet. Graham Chapman: Eee, ecky thumb.

Wrap me up in mud and shut me up At least 'till I make my way to the top Of sediments that fill the breaking crust You might hear me talk if you dust me off The inside of the beast is what remains Finding me beneath requires change A million years have passed, I am preserved Now that I am found what have you learned I was wrapped in a blanket of dirt Fill in the hole and watch the world revert Buried in the land beneath the clay I had a life but you just want my age The excavation leads to the older race The mire has become one with the face Sink into the realm of whats been here since You began to breathe, began to sift Forget the preconcieved ideas you came with My bones will shatter lies and trample myths I can tell you where you came from I can tell you where I've been Been a prisoner of silence Shackled by the dirt I'm in I can tell you where you came from I can tell you where I've been I am the answer to your past Eplore the secrets deep within No food no light no rain no reason to walk I'll just fall asleep inside natures plot And lay here 'till the time for me to hide stops Give up on the lies you have about this rock Go ahead and use what you've seen To elevate your kind beyond tragedy Every single find - another page turned Now that I am found what have you learned

There's no need to argue Cause it's all fixed in science Ingenius people wrecked their minds To give eyesight to the blind Why worry about solutions Cause everything is fixed Don't you fill me with confusion You quiet hypocrites I've got science on my side And science is reality There's no end in sight We are growing constantly Look for the truth It's so much closer than you think We're no final form We're the missing link There's no use to argue now I will rely on all my books And even if we found it I doubt that anyone would look We've learned to use a tool We've learned stand I'm staring at myself I see an upright man B-Part: Use a tool - make a stand - hypocrit - apeman

Species and nations have a lot in common. What, for example, is a german? The tribe has a shared and guttural means of communication that interrupts intercourse of most kinds, but the attribute is equivocal, for austrians speak the same language. Since 1913, the country has defined its own citizens by descent, by German blood (whatever that might be). It includes within the realm the remnants of the Saxon diaspora (many of whom - Romanians included - cannot speak german at all), but cuts out children born in Berklin of Turkish parents. Until the fall of the Berlin wall, indeed, a geographical barrier made many of the nation's citizen more alien to one another than Westerners or Easterners were to the French or the Poles. A century ago German identity itself meant little, as there were only Prussians, Bavarians and Rhinelanders, political entities of their own, each now reduced to variants within a greater Teutonic whole. The problem of how to define Germans, or any nation, arises because the question is ambiguous: does it turn on shared appearance and behaviour, on geography, or on descent? Is a country an historical entity, or should it be indentified only on criteria that apply today? How much can frontiers be allowed to leak before a nation loses its essence? When will Germans be seen as Europeans, as Prussians have become German? Such problems of identity turn on natural variation, the raw material of evolutionary change.

We are the augmented animal. Take a step back and get a different perspective on where we come from, what we have accomplished, where we have failed. You'll get a better idea about what lies ahead… Is this the end - Bionic life In a wired world, we rest And we think we are so strong There's old and new - No global view Changing shades of green, an' you... Can you guess what's goin' wrong Can you see that part Can you re-invent yourself ? Look at us, what have we become ? What have we been through ? Look at us see all that has changed All the dreams that have come true Of Mice and Men - And Man-Made Mice It is us and them, together On this planet we have grown. New hearts for old - A changing life But we close our eyes, to this Can you guess what's goin' wrong Can you see that part Can you re-invent yourself ? Have we gone too far - or not far enough Have we learned from our mistakes that we make from day to day What's gone is gone - no more chance to see But we close our eyes, to this Yes I know what going wrong Look at us, how did we get this far ? In a world where all is new Look at us, how long will we survive ? Will our dreams still true ?

Questions remain un-answered No response from a poisoned mind But yet we keep on sending The young to be taught by the blind Happening behind the scenes Citizens oblivious Religious folk they plan and sceme Nobody knows it's dangerous They have the information They keep it locked away And keeping information Sounds like lying to me The truth will be behind the scenes no more Conspiracy knocking on my door Questions remain un-answered No response from a poisoned mind But yet we keep on sending The young to the machine of lies. Its wheels will grind you down Its power crush you whole The only thing it will spit out Is just another mindless soul The evidence is obvious It is right in front of you They keep this information They tell you it's not true The truth will be behind the scenes no more Conspiracy knocking on my door Learn to teach and teach to learn Open your eyes knowledge returns The truth will be behind the scenes no more Conspiracy knocking on my door
George Carlin: The greatest arrongance of all: Save the planet. What? Are these fuckin' people kidding me? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We gotta learn how to care for one another, we're gonna save the fuckin' planet? There is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The people are fucked. Naghmeh Zand: What the artist in his monologue is trying to say is that there is no possible way for a group of individuals, in this case people, descibing human kind, to avoid or escape a given situation, here, death or extinction. He sums it up by using a four letter word, which, after all, gives the statement much more clarity and impact because, let's face it, the people are fucked. George Carlin: The planet has been through a lot worse than us. …been though earthquakes, volcanos, plate techtonics, continental drifts, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages and we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. We are. Pack your shit folks. And we won't leave much of a trace either. Thank god for that. The planet will be here and we'll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed end biological mistake. An evolutionary col de sac.

One day the world will be a better place No More Cryin' No More people No More pain Worry all you want, it won't stop the rotation No More arrogance No More regrets An' no one left to die Because tomorrow We'll be gone And all that now surrounds us Will keep moving on Simple Man, simple plan, or simply just a waste Come and stay on your way to the grave Like the rain you simply wash away Simple life, simple light, or simply nature's right Like the setting sun your job here is done Folks, pack your shit and move on We developed way too fast Who the hell said this place was ours No More reigns No More slaves No More reason to endure Cut to the front of the line to claim your rights No More black No More white No one left here to fight I can't tell What there will be And not a single human eye Will ever get to see Simple Man, simple plan, or simply just a waste - you're gonna die Come and stay on your way to the grave Like the rain you simply wash away - the planet is fine Simple life, simple light, or simply nature's right - you're gonna die Like the setting sun your job here is done Folks, pack your shit and move on

A family photograph I sit here waiting No proper graves, no epitaphs We'll just go to sleep Here in this empty room I count the hours My weathered heart will find rest soon This day will be my last Red skies and melting ice Should have tipped off someone Humans in their ignorance Looked the other way Days had passed, then weeks and months They couldn't stop debating Now I sit back and laugh Oh what the hell were they saying Can't you see the signs You can trust your eyes Can't you see the signs Taking your place in line You can't escape what's gonna come I see you all running Still wanna be the first in line Nothing you have learned Why don't you use your brain for once You are going in circles The competition's over friend Your line has lost it's purpose Can't you see the signs You can trust your eyes Can't you see the signs Taking your place in line Can't you see the signs It is over we are through Can't you see the signs They are coming after you

Douglas Adams: "Six pints of bitter", said Ford Prefect to the barman of the horse and groom "and quickly please, the world's about to end." Arthur remained very worried. "But can we trust him?", he said. "Myself, I trust him to the end of the earth.", said Ford. "Oh yes,", said Arthur "how far is that?" "About twelve minutes away", said Ford, "come on, I need a drink." John Cleese: My god, this is terrible, would somebody please stop it? Douglas Adams: "Are you serious, sir?" he said in a small whisper which had the effect of silencing the pub. "You think the world's going to end?" "Yes," said Ford. "But, this afternoon?" […] "Yes," he said gaily, "in less than two minutes I would estimate." The barman couldn't believe the conversation he was having. […] "Isn't there anything we can do about it then?" he said. "No, nothing," said Ford, stuffing the peanuts into his pockets. Someone in the hushed bar suddenly laughed raucously at how stupid everyone had become. The man sitting next to Ford was a bit sozzled by now. His eyes waved their way up to Ford. "I thought," he said, "that if the world was going to end we were meant to lie down or put a paper bag over our head or something." "If you like, yes," said Ford. "That's what they told us in the army," said the man, and his eyes began the long trek back down to his whisky. "Will that help?" asked the barman. "No," said Ford and gave him a friendly smile. "Excuse me," he said, "I've got to go." With a wave, he left. […] The barman cleared his throat. He heard himself say: "Last orders, please."

Siegward Roth: Er hot sofodd die technische unn soziale Folche voo solche Neuerunge vier Aache unn ueverlegt sich das dreimol bevier er alle mechliche Irrwaeje midgit. Donovan Smith: (Laughs) Why am I? Who am I? Douglas Adams: 'The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. "For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question "How can we eat?" the second by the question "Why do we eat?" and the third by the question […] Donovan Smith: Where should we have lunch? What's it about? I think it's only temporary. We should go, it's time. Where should we have lunch? We should go, it's time. Douglas Adams: A tremendous feeling of piece came over him. He knew that at last, for once and forever it was now all, finally, over.
