In a recent conversation with a fellow researcher, the idea of a h2g2 motto was raised. Obviously we have "Don't Panic", and over the years other ones have come to the fore, especially "Last one to the bar picks up the tab"
However, what would the motto for our motley crew be?
Blame 2legs
No innuendo too weak.

Ooh that's interesting.
Non trepidans est sub-aestimavit.
or to put it another way,
Not panicking is under-rated.

In passing can I just mention Sir Terry Pratchett's greatest bit of work in coming up for the Fools' Guild motto:
"Dico, Dico, Dico"

Yes, as a matter of fact, (fill in the blank) is research.
Example:
Yes, as a matter of fact, pub-crawling is research.
Just to give this an 'American' twist
maybe our motto should be 'Motto, we
don't need no stinking motto.'

If you wanted to give it an American twist, you could say,
Yes, as a matter of fact, bar-hopping is research.

Nice one, Icy.

That one's already taken, Rod. It was spoken by Jiminy Cricket in Disney's Pinocchio.
I reversed it.
Nice one Icy, I like that!

Hmph.
Originality is in the mind of the unedified.
(even second-hand originality)
Guide Me, Oh Thou Great Researcher
(Come Yonder)
Thou shall never be alone, Here.
> Thou shall
That sets my teeth on edge. It should be /Thou shalt/.
Hootoo is my home on the internet. I keep coming back. I think, for many of us, that line from Hotel California might be a good description of the place. But I'm not sure it's a good motto.
:: To inform, to educate, and to entertain.
:: Debate, discussion, fun, laughter, education, edification.
I'm not very good at this, am I?
TRiG.
Thou shalt be corrected if wrong

I can't see that, I'm at work.
I survived Single Sign On AND the Great Migration.
Pity the poor DigiBoxers.
I have several degrees, you know.
