Ahh, but don't forget that his great grandfather is Zaphod Beeblebrox IV (that accident with a contraceptive and a time machine, remember?), so the reason that Zaphod's great grandfather has two heads could be because Zaphod had the second head added (and perhaps the corresponding genetic surgery as well!) By the way, I pity those of you who have never heard the radio version (the BEST version! my opinion only, etc., etc.) and therefore don't know who the Haguenenons (sp?) are, or how the Shoe Event Horizon works!!
