  1. The Cappuccino Congestion article reminds me that in Hitchhiker’s, lifts…

    “have the capacity … to be on the right floor to pick you up even before you knew you wanted it, thus eliminating all the tedious chatting, relaxing and making friends that people were previously forced to do while waiting for elevators.”

    I thought it might have been an April Fool, had those not been cancelled this year.
