This depends on which version you read.  The British version of Life,
The Universe, and Everything says "fuck", and the American version
says "Belgium".

Does anyone know the reason for this discrepency?  I find Belgium
much more creative, and the word "fuck" is mundanely unoriginal.

Any comments?
