LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Douglas Adams, whose cult science fiction comedy ``The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' drew millions of fans and spawned a mini-industry, has died at age 49.
The British-born Adams died Friday of an apparent heart attack in Santa Barbara, Calif., a family friend, Elizabeth Gibson, said Saturday. She said Adams collapsed while working out at a gym.
My condolences.

Wow, that sucks. Anyone who hasn't read any of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" books is advised to go and pick one up now, in memoriam. You won't regret it. They're all great.
