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

Well done- informative, reasoned and well written. An excellent addition to the guide.

I just hope the true author has noticed this.

This is a very impressive entry. Bravo! And it's stuff I didn't know. I knew very little about this assassination, to be honest.

TRiG.

This is really interesting, thanks! I didn't know any of this, and good to read it on hootoo, always a source of quality research.

I was talking with Dmitri in my journal yesterday about the assassination, and our childhood memories of that fateful day.

Even though I'm a member of hootoo, I really like it when links to Guide Entries are tweeted from the Guide Editors. It helps me to refine my reading. Thanks!

Hi CC,

I'm glad you found this to be an interesting Entry. I just hope the original author is aware that it has been used once more.

I have seen advertising clips showing the dramatization of the film, but am not certain when it will be shown on tv.

Btw, it has also been recently mentioned that Richard Stolley realised that Zapruder didn't have a copy of the film and contacted him many years later to ask if he would like a copy.

Zapruder said:

"I never want that film in my house!"

Hey lil! aka laces?

That's interesting. So the film, that started as an innocent cine film, was a total burden to Zapruder. Hmmm, I can understand why.

And I didn't know any of this! Thanks hootoo.

I guess sometimes the original authors of pieces just disappear into the mist, and if they leave no tracks, you can't contact them to say their piece has been brought to light. I guess, once written, a piece is freely given to the hootoo database.

The database of Guide Entries must be massive! A vault! A vast store of knowledge! Lucky there's computers, eh?

I wonder how many Guide Entries have been written since hootoo began?

Too much hard work had been done with this Entry to leave it for the Flea Market. I asked the author if I could take it on the understanding that I would never take the credit, which is why I used 'laces' (a shortened version of lil ACE/Scout), and he agreed as long as his name was never put into the acknowledgements.

I keep hoping that he will one day come back and allow us the add his name to the Entry.

Oh, I seeee! Sort of. The complexities of Editorness, like, being an Editor. .

Well, I appreciate all your work, lil, and the work of the author and your tweets, and all the other people who run this site, and everything!

I always was intrigued by the hootoo Flea Market. When I first joined the site I wanted to go there. I like Flea Markets. .

But, back to the topic of this entry, lest I divert this conversation. Me? Off topic? Never ...

Off topic???

I'm sure I've never strayed

You enjoyed reading this Guide Entry, and that is the best any of us can hope for
