From: Will Duquette <engvax!ymir!4CCVAX..PDUQUETTE@cit-vax> I can't say I've noticed any discrepancies between English and American versions of SLATFATF, but in _Life, the Universe, and Everything_, when Arthur Dent crossed the Atlantic he changed from a "Complete A**hole" to a "Complete Kneebiter." At least as far as Wowbagger was concerned..... Will Duquette

The British version had the award going to the most gratuitous use of a famous four letter word beginning with F, denoting sexual relations, while in the American version, the award was for the most gratuitous use of the world "Belgium". They also had to add a few extra sentences explaining this. Eric Stern
