Douglas Adams:

The story so far

In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Many races believe that it was created by some sort of god, but he Jatravatid people of Viltvodl VI believe that the entire universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the great green arcleseizure

The Jatravatids, who live in perpetual fear of a time they call "the coming of the great white handkerchief", are small blue creatures with more than firfty arms each who are therefore unique for being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel
