"I always thought that about the Garden of Eden story,"   said Ford. "Eh?"  "Garden of Eden. Tree. Apple. That bit, remember?" "Yes, of course I do."  "Your God person puts an apple tree in the middle of a   garden and says, do what you like guys, oh, but don't   eat the apple. Surprise, surprise, they eat it and he   leaps out from behind a bush shouting 'Gotcha.' It   wouldn't have made any difference if they hadn't eaten it." "Why not?"  "Because if you're dealing with somebody who has the sort   of metality which likes leaving hats on the pavement with   bricks under them you know perfectly well they won't give   up. They'll get you in the end."      --Douglas Adams
