Line 5:
He is the only man to have survived the [[Total Perspective Vortex]], although it may only have been a replica of the real Vortex. According to the books, he is "one hell of a guy".
Throughout the story, Zaphod is busy carrying out some grand scheme, only he has no clue what it is. This is because he has had the section of his brain where the plan is stored blocked so that telepaths will not be able to find out what he is up to. The fact that he is still working on the plan although he has no clue about it is just one of the many absurdities in the story.
In both the radio and television versions of ''The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'' Zaphod was played by [[Mark Wing-Davey]]. In the television version he wore a false arm (when the arm was required to gesture it was replaced by the arm of someone else standing behind Wing-Davey) and a radio-controlled second head with an eyepatch. Unfortunately the second head's mechanics seldom worked properly and so for most of the time it just sits on his shoulder looking inanimate, although in one scene it manages to have a brief conversation with Wing-Davey's real head.
