Well, I really don't know anything about its origins, but I bought this CD with the same title as this topic. It's of DNA reading excerpts from the books. (I bought it a long time ago, but I was listening to it again yesterday.) Obviously, it's highly entertaining, and I think that these are the readings of Agrajag that they recycled in the new radio series, but since I haven't listened to the new radio series, I'm not sure.

I haven't heard any of the later radio series either.  Probably something I should get at some point, try to collect all the BBC radio stuff.  There has actually been a fair amount of BBC DNA output since his death (3 or 4 hitchhikers? I think, and 1 or 2 Dirk Gently?).  Reviews, from what I have seen, have been positive.  Still, even if the BBC series lacked punch, having DNA reading the part of Agrajag would be entertaining.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.
There is an art, it says, or rather a knack to flying.
The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Pick a nice day, it suggests, and try it.
