Is the phrase "six impossible things before breakfast" original with
Hitch-hiker's Guide (it was used in the entry for Milliways, the
Restaurant at the End of the Universe)?  I just heard it used last night
on the "Hotel" TV series; the woman said:
          Sometimes, if you think of six impossible things
          before breakfast, one of them might come true?

Was the writer a HHGttG fan, or am I just ignorant?
