   Adams would probably have loved the idea.  He changed the story line for   
   every new incarnation - from radio, to books (and more books), to TV, to   
   video game, to movie (I think that was the order), and a simple detail like   
   all the characters previously being considered dead would hardly rate a   
   moment's hesitation - and he'd be pulling in a royalty for something he   
   didn't have to write.   
      
   The only real problem is that Artemis Fowl should be a _character_ in HHGG   
   not it's author.
