h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well done Opti a great Entry and I love that picture

GB

I agree - this is just the sort of thing that the h2g2 project was set up for. It makes me want to think of shark puns:

"Put a Tiger in your (water) Tank"

How did I miss this in PR?

I grew up a stone's (or shark's) throw from the infamous house. I remember the local radio station ran a competition asking people to describe what the interior of the house looked like & what the shark's mouth may be used for.

Ah, memories...

for the fan mail

i don't know why people in the neighbourhood would object to this. It'd make it easier to give directions to your house. "I'm just three doors down from the shark."

nice article.

>>>It makes me want to think of shark puns:

We'll do every fin we can to avoid pointless shark puns, Icy.

I'm sure that's abusing your power, somehow...

isnt that why people have power, so that they can abuse it? I know i would, should i ever obtain any.

Nurse!

I should have said that picture was jaws gorgeous!

from an architectural point of view, Mal, would this be considered 'jumping the shark' (not sure if this term is known overseas. Here in Canada, and the US, it refers to an episode of Happy Days, where the fonz jumped a shark on waterskis, and alludes to the point at which a tv show starts to go downhill, marked by some desperate scriptwriting.)

Well, since postmodernism can be seen as architecture in general jumping the shark, and this might be described as postmodern, I suppose so

I just think it's funny.

"It'd make it easier to give directions to your house. "I'm just three doors down from the shark"."

well done Fruitilicious I realy enjoyed reading this

it is funny, Mal. I wish i had some sort of sea creature poking out of my roof. In my next house, perhaps a narwhal, or a seal.

Or just a fish-shaped house...
