    Ford gives Arthur dent peanuts to eat from the pub before they hitch their lift from the vogons. the teleporting takes a lot out of your body, but the peanuts because of their high amounts of salt, make the teleport less draining. or something :)

    Wrong! The guide originally referred to Earth as harmless, and after Ford Prefect sent back 15 years worth of research into the planet, the evaluation changed to "Mostly Harmless".
