Mice, The : The Mice are not, as is commonly assumed on Earth, small white squeaking animals who spend a lot of time being experimented on. In fact, they are the protrusions into our dimension of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings. These beings are, in fact, responsible for the creation of the Earth. Two mice (Frankie and Benjy) escaped from Earth before the premature termination of its program. They had belonged to an Earthling known as Trillian. They were rather keen to remove Arthur Dent’s brain to reveal the ultimate question, which they had devoted a lot of time and money to finding. The whole business with the cheese and the squeaking is actually just a front.
