This must be the most misquoted quote in the entire history of the Universe :
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
by Douglas Adams
Part 3
First broadcast by BBC on 24 December 1978
Voice of "The Book" :
Far back in the mists of ancient time,
in the great and glorious days of the former Galactic Empire,
Life was wild, rich and on the whole tax-free.
In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high,
men were REAL men,
women were REAL women,
and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
And ALL dared to brave unknown terrors to do mighty deeds,
to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before,
and THUS was the Empire forged.
Dave Kimble
