    Vogons may be long lost relatives of Red Lectroids.
    Rather than try to explain, I suggest that you pay attention to Douglas Adams' 4 volume trilogy, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Alternatively you can watch the video--I suggest the original 1981 BBC TV serialization over the 2005 movie version.

    Poor Tom... Fan of idiocracy, but unknowing of Vogon Poetry? It is subtle but for your amusement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxPeIiU2kx4

    Default Logical Response

    Tom,

    I think it would be timely and appropriate to utilize an ad hominem response in this instance.

    I have decided to just consider "poor Tom" an improvement over "cruel Tom" or "Colonel Doom" as a now departed comrade whom Stan aslo knew called me...

    Besides it beats "rehabilitaion"

    Tom,

    Finally watched "Idiocracy" tonight, and am dumber for it.

    Need some "rehabilitation!"
