Was the late campy Brit author Douglas Adams(Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy x5) possibly related to the mystical knowledge guru(or "straight dope"pimp-take your pick)Cecil Adams? Or is eccentricity just inherent in any possesor of the surname Adams?
This is the second reference I’ve seen lately (both on this board, I think) to “the late” Douglas Adams. When and how did he die? And how did I miss hearing about it? (Besides the fact that I live in a cave, of course.)
Alan He died of a heart attack around may 15 I think it was. There are many tributes at douglasadamas.com I recall seeing a tribute to him in the Get Fuzzy comic strip a couple or three weeks ago.
I don’t think he was related to Cecil just because I’ve never heard of such a relationship existing but I could be wrong.
Alan– Douglas Adams died on May 11. There is a wonderful feature about him in the Onion’s a.v. club. Well worth reading.
As for the OP… I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.
