The door on Yulgar's second story, the one with 42 on it. Will it ever open? What will be inside? Leopardzard?!?!

I believe after you fight the dreaded Lepordzard, it will open up a shop that allows you to buy either all the old rares, or admin weapons...... Perhaps that's how they get it....

Umm, no. That's total BS, a complete lie spread by people with too much time on their hands.
There is no 'Leopardzard' anywhere in the AQ database, the last I heard officially.
It's a reference to a book called 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', in which 42 is the answer given by the supercomputer Deep Thought after 7.5 million years of computing, to 'The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything'.
In hindsight, those asking for the answer realized they should have been a little clearer about what the question was.
The 'Beware of Leopardzard' is another reference to the book. The main character, Arthur Dent, was about to have his home demolished. He hadn't been told about it so when he woke up and realized there were bulldozers about to plow through his home, he had this discussion with the foreman:
"But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine month."
"Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything."
"But the plans were on display ..."
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a flashlight."
"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
So in all seriousness, the implication is that the infamous 42 door is a lavatory. A restroom.

The movie could have put anybody to sleep, that was total drek. No redeeming qualities, mostly because they felt it necessary to completely deviate from the book's plot to make it more 'action-y'.
I don't see how the book could have put you to sleep though, unless you just don't like British-style humor.

Did you just "Oh, Ithy" me?!
DF I believe is busy with college, Suik is always got info to crunch for the Official AQ website, and I have no clue where Draco is.
I am not locking this thread at the moment. There is a connection with AQ and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Drago is merely explaining it. If it gets too out of hand I will take care of it.
Thanks for your concern, Tifa, dear.

HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy is indeed a good book. personally I've been wondering if the Devourer's arrival will be like the Vogon Deconstruction Fleet arriving at earth...

^I'll try the movie out. Did you just call me "dear"? If you have to watch something, don't watch the new movie (The one where Marvin is round and has a huge head.) There's an old (Late 80s, I think,) BBC version that's been released to DVD that was a miniseries that ran in Britain. Much closer to the book and therefore much funnier. |
