"Anyway, I am not as other private detectives. My methods are holistic and, in a proper sense of the word, chaotic. I operate by investigating the fundamental interconnectedness of all things.
Every particle in the universe affects every other particle, however faintly or obliquely. Everything interconnects with everything. If I could interrogate this table leg in a way that made sense to me, or to the table leg, then it could provide me with the answer to any question about the universe. I could ask anybody I like, chosen entirely by chance, any random question i cared to think of, and their answer, or lack of it, would in some way bear upon the problem to which i am seeking a solution. It is only a question of knowing how to interpret it. Even you, whom I have met entirely by chance probably know things that are vital to my investigation, if only I knew what to ask you, which I don't, and if only I could be bothered to, which I can't."
A whale of a time indeed!...& I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Douglas Adams puts the capital H in humour. Of course, his brand of the funnies is not for everyone. If you can't stand Silly, I-will-bash-my-head-in-if-I-keep-reading-this kind of slapstick humour, then I suggest you keep your feet planted firmly on terror firma and leave the musings of Life, the Universe and Everything to all those crazies that Nancy Njuguna cares for in Gotham's Asylum or was it Nairobi's Mathare¿? I forget.
Well if you are so inclined to take a keen interest in the mechanics (quantum or otherwise) of the co-relation between the wiley coyote, Mzee Kobe and Tom (of the Tom and Jerry fame)in their endless almost futile pursuits, then I suggest you get hold of a Douglas Adams. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy would be a good place to start.
Nancy, remember, DON'T PANIC!
