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

Actually, I came first, she came second and you came third

There was a 2 next to my name at the start though.

I demand to be thirteenth on the list!

That's a bump down!

Oh, and HPB, sorry, I guess I made a mistake

I feel obligated to defend my position, but the appeaser in me tells me to let HPB have the number 2 spot as a gesture of trust and good will. So, shall I be Churchill or Neville Chamberlain? Churchill! No, Chamberlain. No, Churchill. No....I'm so confused!

H

Dun worry H... 'tis all fair, [HPB] will keep his perch at third. Third's a lot better than 14th, eh?

I didn’t realize that the number beside our names ranked our position in the society.

A little bit of modern pop history, a quote from The Simpsons, the Stone Cutters episode:

Homer – ‘They accept me for who I am, look deep into my soul and assign me a number solely based on the order in which I joined.’

Ebert – (in)famous for the constant misquotations of tale gate stickers.

Oh great, I get unlucky 13.

Ebert, I was just being silly. I don't care where I am on the list - or if I'm on the list. Jodan, put me on the bottom. My self esteem isn't bound to my location on a list.

H

I just jump at any excuse to quote The Simpsons

And with a flash like a Ebert realized that she needed to watch a little less TV when she found herself more than capable of rambling off a quote from The Simpsons for any situation.

H - you're staying at the top

It's based purely on the order you joined on, so I can't change your positition

I would be delighted if you could add my name to the distinguished group of researchers gathered herein. (Is that enough groveling or do you need more? )

Wildman

Done

Any specialist subjects?

By the time you reach my age my age you learn history the hard way!

But you can put me down for Scotland, (and every time I go to sleep I wonder if someone will do that, literally )

Wildman - not having a good day.

ah...but this is h2g2 13
1+3=4
1-3=2
and we all try to strife to be ass with 42

By the way, Gnomon has joined our ranks

Excellent! Another history buff.

H

I'm in. Tho I've been moving away from History and toward Anthropology, I still have enough of it in me to pop out some entries. My best areas are American, Ancient Roman, and Pacific Islands but I know where to get the resources to do anything needed.
