This is another example of the fact that The Hitch Hiker's Guide to
the Galaxy will employ anybody who wants to walk straight in off the
street and get ripped off, especially if they happen to walk in off
the street during the afternoon, when very few of the regular staff
are there.... He [founding editor of the Hitchhiker's Guide, Hurling
Frootmig] also started to develop and explore the role of the editorial
lunch-break which was subsequently to play such a crucial part
in the Guide's history, since it meant that most of the actual
work got done by any passing stranger who happened to wander into
the empty offices on an afternoon and saw something worth doing.
