Deep Thought : I speak of none but the computer that is to come after me. A computer whose merest operational parameters I am not worthy to calculate! Yet I will design it for you! A computer which can calculate the Answer to the Ultimate Question, A computer of such infinite and subtle complexity that organic life itself shall form part of its operational matrix. You ourselves shall take on new forms and go down into the computer to navigate its 10-million-year program! Yes, I shall design this computer for you and I shall name it also unto you. And it shall be called the EARTH!
