  1. No, you can’t depend on the EU for much, but you can count on them for standards which make new commerce possible!

  2. Update on mice: It turns out that Benjy the mouse is a “hyperintelligent pandimensional being” who has been living on earth in the form of a mouse. More specifically, Benjy has been on earth as one of Trillian’s two pet mice. When Trillian left earth to travel with Zaphod, she brought Benjy and Frankie (her other mouse). Unbeknownst to her, Benjy and Frankie have been subtly manipulating her, and when the Heart of Gold lands on Magrathea, they escape. Eventually, Arthur and his friends learn that Benjy and Frankie want to extract his brain to study it, assuming that the answer to their long-running experiment on earth must be imbedded in his brain. Another reason Benjy and Frankie want to dissect Arthur’s brain has to do with their desire to get rich and famous. At one point, they’re thinking mainly about reconstruction of certain planetary systems demolished by insensitive Vogons.
