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

Whoops. That should go after Semadan.

What can I say...I like the word ECNALUBMA. It sounds so wonderfully esoteric.

Ummm...I may be running a huge risk by doing this a second time, but I believe that's hara-kiri.

Oh... please let me join you! I'm getting nuts with all the stupidity around me... especially near my left ear.

No, seriously, I want to become a member of Icarus.

By the way, it's SemadaM...doesn'nt matter.

I would like to join as well.
In Corfu you can find a strange solution for the landing of airplains.
Corfu has only a little airport and if a plane wants to land the cars will have to wait for it. It is funny if you have to woit for a planewether it manages to stop before crashing you or not.

Did I hear an echo-echo-cho-cho-ho-ho-o-o-?

Must be Halloweeeeeen

Can I join, too?

Microwave-popcorn comes in a microwave-safe paperbag, with instructions printed on. Then the bag is folded (text inside) and wrapped in plastic. The user-friendly instructions begin with "remove the plastic". Doh, thanks Superman for using your x-ray vision and telling me how to do...

My bad. I'll fix it.

Stupid bets :

Soon to be deceased guy bet another $40 that if he inserted a handgun (sixshooter) loaded with only 4 bullets in his own mouth and pulled the trigger, he would blow his brains out. He won, or rather.....lost. depends on your point of view I suppose.

That's really depressing, you know that?

Ok, I'm a willing vict...er....I'm just willing.
And just to start here are two I don't think you've got:
A sign permanantly affixed to a gate stating: "This gate is now shut"
And a list of package contents, where one of the items on the list is "this list".

Sign me up, Icarus. Oh, by the way, when I phoned Tiny PC technical support when my PC broke, the first thing they asked me was "Have you plugged it in?" So *THAT* was it! D'oh! (sarcasm mode cancel)

I also saw an ad for a chocolate bar, in which a 'serving suggestion' was a picture of someone eating a chocolate bar.

what about the first instruction on every CD,

INSERT THE CD INTO THE CD-ROM DRIVE

i mean really, i thought it was meant to go in the printer.

Despite all logic, about 1/3 of all tech support calls involve the computer not being plugged in. I kid you not.

Peace, Science, and small bits of paper! The ideals of modern ("1st world") society. Or maybe just small pieces of paper, which are more easily thrown away.

I would like to sign up too... there is no nobler pursuit than the elimination of ignorance.
Here's my own offer, coming after fireworks night in the UK: on a firework, the instruction 'Light fuse'.

On a firework: 'Do not point in face.'
On a sparkler: 'Do not hold in mouth.'

All this rampant stupidity on only one night of the year. It must stop.
