*** Other countries that did translate it had to find ways of getting around the problem. Usually by renaming him "Ford Escort".

*** The TV series partially averts it by showing a list of names Ford considered using, most of the rest being much more recognizable, at least getting across the impression that he's named after something real. The movie lampshades it by Ford referring to Arthur meeting him by saving him from being run over when he tried to shake hands with a car (which he now explains, having revealed himself to be an alien, he had mistaken for the dominant life form on Earth).

* [[Divide by Zero]]: The second book states a theory which basically says that if anyone finds out the meaning of life, then the universe will end and reboot as something even harder to explain. (Another theory says that this may have happened.) ''Life, The Universe, And Everything'' later [[Hand Wave|handwaves]] away The Ultimate Question and Answer Of Life, The Universe, And Everything as causing such an event if anyone found out both.

* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]: Ford, occasionally.
