This seems very familiar.. Isn't there a plotline in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy about someone travelling around apologising to the entire universe in alphabetical order, using a time machine iirc?
Edit: Hah, my bad, I thought Bowerick was a HN user
Google set me straight!
I think you're referring to Bowerick Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged -- an immortal who went about insulting every living being in the universe in alphabetical order :)
Is there a site that lists everyone in the entire universe in alphabetical order?
Bowerick would like to use it for a project he is working on in his spare time - and he has a lot of that since his accident.
