Help.
 
Is this true?
 
Douglas Adams, author of the 'Life , The Universe and Everything' and
others of that humorous science fiction series died Friday at the age 
of 49

Yes ... as far as I am aware.  BBC Radio 4, one o'clock news 
confirmed it.

A deeply sad loss.  Doug was, by all accounts, a very funny, 
intelligent and sweet-natured man.  We'll be poorer without him.

"Tips for aliens in New York.

Land anywhere, Central Park, anywhere.  No one will care, or indeed 
even notice.

Surviving - Get a job as a cab driver immediately.  A cab driver's 
job is to drive people anywhere they want to go in big yellow 
machines called taxis.  Don't worry if you don't know how the machine 
works or you can't speak the language, don't understand the geography 
or even the basic physics of the area, and have large green antennae 
growing out of your head.  Believe me, this is the best way of 
staying inconspicuous.

If your body is really weird try showing it to people in the streets 
for money.

Amphibious life-forms from any of the worlds in the Swulling, Noxios 
or Nausalia systems will particularly enjoy the East River, which is 
said to be richer in those lovely life-giving nutrients than the 
finest and most virulent laboratory slime yet achieved.

Having fun: This is the big section.  It is impossible to have more 
fun without electrocuting your pleasure sensors."
