"Two figures in particular seemed ill-matched. One, a young man, was tall, thin, and angular; even muffled inside a heavy dark coat he walked a little like an affronted heron. The other was small, roundish, and moved with an ungainly restlessness, like a number of elderly squirrels trying to escape from a sack. His own age was on the older side of completely indeterminate. If you picked a number at random, he was probably a little older than that, but--well, it was impossible to tell. Certainly his face was heavily lined, and the small amount of hair that escaped from under his red woolen skiing hat was thin, white, and had very much its own idea about how it wished to arrange itself." - an excerpt from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

This, my friends, is but one example as to why Douglas Adams is simply amazing.
