Beeblebrox, Zaphod : Zaphod Beeblebrox is cool. He’s so cool you could keep a side of meat in him for a month. President of the Imperial Galactic Government. Inventor of the Pan Galactic Gargle-Blaster. Thief of the starship Heart Of Gold. Adventurer, ex-hippy, good timer, (crook? quite possibly), manic self-publicist, terribly bad at personal relationships, often thought to be completely out to lunch. When faced with the horrifying prospect of being fed into the Total Perspective Vortex, he thought first of his stomach, and secondly of a trip to a discotheque. Once described by Eccentrica Gallumbits as, “The Best Bang since the Big One,” and recently voted the Worst Dressed Sentient Being in the MultiVerse for the seventeenth time running. His semi-cousin is Ford Prefect. They share three of the same mothers. He has two heads, three arms, and an attitude. He claims he grew the third hand just for Trillian, but really, he grew it to improve his ski-boxing. Whatever he does, he does with style (and a smattering of Bad Language).

Bad Language : Rude Words. Belgium. Less offensive words have been created in the many languages of the galaxy, such as joojooflop, swut and Holy Zarquon’s Singing Fish. The use of bad language can have unforeseen circumstances. One example is the war between the G’gugvunts and the Vl’hurgs, caused by a casual remark made by Arthur Dent being mistaken as a terrible insult. Simultaneous Babel Fish translation also means that any being can be rude to any other being without the need for extensive explanations. This has also started many wars. The reason the Earth has been shunned for so long is also due to a language problem. On Earth, Belgium refers to a small country. Throughout the rest of the galaxy, Belgium is the most unspeakably rude word there is.
