It's a book refernced in the Hitchiker's Guide. It tells various tenses for talking about different time travel paradoxes and events. However, no one has ever made it to page 500, and in subsequent editions, all further pages are blank to save on shipping costs.

That's it! I knew I'd heard it from somewhere! Love Hitchhikers. Best books ever...^^

Agreed. The increasingly illogical trilogy.

Um...*Spoiler*...

It was the continuation of the character who kept being reincarnated and then killed by Arthur that intrigued me. Especially when he thought, "Oh no, not again" when he was the petunias...

I believe you mean the Time Traveller's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations by Dr. Dan Streetmentioner?

Yes. I also obtained a copy of the entire set of rules for Brockian Ultra-Cricket. I donated them both to the Braxiatel Collection after a while...
