Welcome to the Church of Hitchhikertology

Don't Panic!

This is the Church of Hitchhikertology, a religion based on the sacred texts and radio plays of our prophet Douglas Adams.

This faith will enrich your life* and widen your perception of the universe.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Practising Hitchhiker levels

In Hitchhikertology we have 5 levels.

These levels correspond to a hitch hikers ability at hitch hiking and general preparedness to get to where ones going.

They are as follows:

PHH1 (η1)
Basic hitch hiking skills. At level 1 a hitch hiker is in possession of at least 1 towel and 1 opposable thumb. At this level a hitch hiker should be able to confidently hitch hike throughout their own land cautiously throughout nearby continents.

PHH2 (η2)
At level 2 a hitch hiker should be able to hitch hike easily throughout their world and, with caution, nearby worlds.

PHH3 (η3)
At level 3 a hitch hiker should be able to get around the galaxy and convince any non hitch hiker to give them any items that they might accidentally have "lost".
PHH4 (η4)
At level 4 a hitch hiker should be able to hitch a ride to anywhere in time or space and should be ready to make their pilgrimage to Milliways, The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.

PHH5 (η5)
At level 5 a hitch hiker should be able to get virtually anywhere, be able to mix a perfect Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and have an innate knowledge of all towels in the vicinity. Furthermore by this level a hitch hiker should have forgotten how to panic.

Each of these levels can be achieved by a process of practising the abilities of the next level and by studying the sacred texts, radio plays and film.

Once a hitch hiker reaches level 5 they should consider writing for the Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy™ and should have lunch with Zaphod Beeblebrox.

All Hitchhikertologists are encouraged to reach level 5.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
