The Post
The h2g2 Post this week answers a lot of questions you didn't know you had. Who met an astronaut? Which two Researchers have look-alike cats? Whose vegetables went fractal? Who wrote the story with the word 'zombie' in the title? Why is our cinema critic waxing philosophical about Legos? And many more. Just read it, you'll understand.

"A collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be."

The Foundation
Co-founded by the h2g2 community, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Foundation is an independent charity honouring Douglas Adams' memory by supporting people around the world trying to improve their communication skills, especially basic literacy skills.
