Editing Zaphod Beeblebrox (section)

== Achievements ==
Zaphod invented the [[#Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster|Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster]]. He was voted "Worst Dressed Sentient Being in the Known Universe" seven consecutive times. He's been described as "the best [[sexual intercourse|Bang]] since the [[Big Bang|Big One]]" by [[Minor characters from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Eccentrica Gallumbits|Eccentrica Gallumbits]], and as "one hoopy frood" by others. In the [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Primary and Secondary Phases#Fit the Seventh|seventh episode]] of the [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series)|original radio series]], the narrator describes Beeblebrox as being the "owner of the hippest place in the universe" (his own left cranium), as voted on in a poll of the readers of the fictional magazine ''Playbeing''.

He was briefly the [[President (government title)|President]] of the Galaxy (a role that involves no power whatsoever, and merely requires the incumbent to attract attention so no one wonders who's ''really'' in charge, a role for which Zaphod was perfectly suited). He is the only man to have survived the Total Perspective Vortex, though it was established (in the books and first two radio series) that he survived only because he was in an [[Virtual reality|Electronically Synthesised Universe]] created especially for him, thus making him the most important being in that universe and thus uniquely equipped to survive its version of the Vortex. His brain-care specialist, Gag Halfrunt, also said, "Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?" He used his position as President of the Galaxy to steal the ''Heart of Gold'', a spaceship taking advantage of Infinite Improbability Drive, at its unveiling.

Early in Zaphod's career (whilst heading ''The Beeblebrox Salvage and Really Wild Stuff Corporation'') he joined forces with the ''Safety and Civil Reassurance Administration'' to investigate the loss of the ''Starship Billion Year Bunker'', on which were stored compounds so powerful a teaspoonful could blow up/infect/irradiate a whole planet, and by-products of The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation synthetic personalities programme.<ref>From ''Young Zaphod Plays It Safe''</ref>
