The Exceedingly Funky Guide to the Galaxy.

This is the prologue to a sort of alternate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Please review to let me know if I should continue.

Hanging around the Galaxy somewhere there is a slightly boring yellow star called Sol. Orbiting this at. well, a pretty long way away anyway, there is a green-blue planet called Earth, whose humanoid, dull inhabitants are so amazingly boring that they still think cloning is a freaky, science-fiction style idea instead of, as is normally thought, an amazing new business opportunity. Anyway, this planet has/had a problem. Well, actually it had rather a lot of problems, and the main problem was that no one knew how to cope with all the other problems, and also that both the most powerful nation on this planet and its cousin country, a tiny island which once controlled a quarter of the planet's landmass, were run by idiots. The solutions which were put forward to solve this problem were mainly suggested by some strange things called Politicians, which was odd, because an the whole it wasn't the politicians who had, or knew how to cope with the problems. So the problems remained, and the politicians all got big fat paychecks. Then one Thursday, just over two thousand years since some guy in a dress had been nailed to a tree for saying that maybe everyone should just be nice to each other for once, a boy, sitting on his own in a small café in Wakefield, had realised the answer to all these problems, but before he could get to a TV camera to tell the world about it, an immensely non-funky disaster occurred and the idea was lost forever. This is not his story. This is my story, because I am the one writing it. But this story is not about him. It is about the immensely non-funky disaster and some of it's consequences. It is also the story of a book, a book called the Exceedingly Funky Guide to the Galaxy. It is, as its name suggests, a very funky book and is the best because of two things; one, it is painted groovy psychedelic colours, and secondly, because it has the words 'I Like Pie' printed on it in happily nonsensical black letters.
