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

Perhaps not, but there's been talk of it all over the Guide. *pats Sporky consolingly* ... Though I do think that there should have been a pointer to the entry, at least for toda..erm.. yesterday.

'Nonnie
(Wondering if Bear is going to retrieve the link or just float around under water drinking all the beer. )

What exactly ~is~ Groundhog Day?

Apart from a dodgy Bill Murray film.

Oh blast..

*dives down to attempt retrieving said link*

*returns to surface sputtering and hands link to TY*

'Nonnie
(What I don't do... )

Why, what don't you do... or do we not want to know?

Groundhogs look like woodchucks to me. We often see them lying unmoving at the side of the roads. Probably passed out from too much beer is my guess at this behavior.

Groundhogs _are_ woodchucks. They are also 'whistle pigs' and several other odd names, depending on your 'neck of the woods'.

So then Nonny, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

About 15 board-feet.

Why does everyone have to make things so complicated?

i'm back. it was quite rough going but... i need a beer. *pulls out long straw and inserts mouthless end into beer pool* oh God, i needed that. hey, that's the groundhog i saw yesterday.@

The burning question now has to be whether it saw it's shadow or not...or was it too drunk to notice?

I think that the only shadow it saw was it's eyelids after trying to drink the pool down all by himself!

Go to http://www.groundhog.org to find out

I'll be right back. I think I'm loosing my soul.

*Sloshes out of pool and runs in direction of CotTb*

you're mineee now, Bs. What is your pleasure?@

I require copious amounts of liquor, one blue mushroom(preferably without legs) and three asprin on the side.

*splashes around* *smiles at Nonnie* *realises this really is IT. *loves nonnie more than anything* good bye@

Why haven't I drowned yet?

I think it has something to do with the bubbles.

If you're refering to the bubbles in the beer, then I'm worried. Cos the only bubbles naturally found in beer are carbon dioxide. Whiuch isn't good for breathing.
If there are any other bubbles in the beer, then I'm slightly suspicious of all other occupants of this pool - these bubbles must have come from somewhere!
