Indy, Indy.  What am I to do with you?	You put this Iain Banks' quote
in
your subject line instead of the obvious literary reference:

"Ford, there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to
us
about  this script for _Hamlet_ they've worked out."

THHGTHG, of course!

However, your quote did remind me of another quote from the game, as
your
fighters descended upon my poor cruiser.  I believe it was you who said,
"What's that on our sensors?  It's an, um, cloud of dice.  I know it's
not
a strictly correct military term, but. . ."
