> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > - Have you interpreted Vogon poetry? > - Were you secretly Zorro? > - Did you play Buddy Bizarre in _Blazing Saddles_ ? Not Don Diego de la Vega Not Dom Deluise But… **Yes, I am Arthur Dent** #5 explication - Arthur and the other characters died in the destruction of Earth at the end of the novel _Mostly Harmless_. Then Douglas Adams had a change of heart, deciding that ending was too bleak and the result of having a bad year. In the subsequent BBC radio adaptation, the ending was changed and a Babelfish teleported the main characters to safety just before Earth’s destruction. (Adams had already passed away by then) Congratulations, Prof! ---
