The man with no name, as referred to in my previous post, is.....
In the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy, book two,
"The Restaurant at the End of the Universe", Zaphod Beeblebrox uses the Infinite Improbability Drive to locate the man who actually rules the Universe. Since, as we all know, nobody who wants to rule the universe can be allowed to, there arose the necessity of finding that one person least likely to ever want to, and make him the ruler. As it happens, he was found and, since he had become extremely valuable, hidden away on a planet surrounded by an unprobability field. This, in effect, made it almost infinitly improbable that he would ever be found, unless you had an Infinite Improbability Drive.
The upshot of all this is Zaphod found the planet, and asked the ruler what his name was.
So now you know. Fun, Huh?

Are you reading The Hitch-hikers guide again?
It is no longer necessary for me to re-read Hitchhiker's.
For example:
"deep in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable eastern arm of the Milky Way galaxie lie a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of approximately 93 million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape decended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they think digital watches are a neat idea..."
I think you may need an intervention
