8 May 2003Every once in a while you come across a quote – such as the one above – that simply twists your mind with its utter…
well…
Coolness.
No other word quite captures the feeling you get from it.
“Salmon of Doubt” is full of those.

Isn’t it just plain ol’ wit? What’s so cool about it? It is witty, but it’s rather simple wit; what’s exceptional about it?

Wit – while not commonplace – is something you can find all over the place. It raises a chuckle or an appreciative grin.
Sometimes, a witticism can slap you harder than usual – not necessarily for its being particularly intelligent or, well, witty – but because it connects just right with your mood or style or personal preference or whatnot.
That’s when it transcends wit and becomes coolness.

Didn’t Salmon of Doubt just make you go “why wasn’t I told Douglas Adams has a weekly column I can read online while he was still alive?!”
The bit about making tea is also brilliant.
