Erm... perhaps because it was 2000000 BC and the tiles were made out of stone? Geez, you've never read the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy? (or more accurately the second in the series, The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.)
Quote:
The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, and the other four books that make up this "trilogy" are hilarious, provided you like dry, british humor. I have read all five novels, as well as the scripts from the original radio broadcast. It is easy reading, and it is very silly. It can also be a profound experience, if you let it...
If you have not read these, you need to, if only so that you can understand why all of your friends associate the number 42 with the meaning of life.
# Reasons to Read: Everyone else has read it.
# You probably need a good laugh.

And you're not going to tell me you don't read Schlock Mercenary? Please?
