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

Thanks G.B. Glad to have been of help. Do you want any more or have you got enough? There's this one about a fishing boat being sunk by a cow dropping out of the sky you see... A.M.

It seems this collection has now replaced another of those horrible "h2g2 writing team" articles, and is an official guide entry. Good job to everyone who helped out.

For anyone wishing to continue to contribute, I will still maintain this page. The PTB occasionally check old articles for update material, so I imagine new stuff could become part of the official guide entry eventually. Just don't hold your breath. In the meantime, this can still be the DEFINITIVE source.

I didn't have the opportunity to read all the replies to your urban legend query, but have you tried out the www.DarwinAwards.com website? I'm sure you all know that the Darwin Awards are awarded to people who have improved the human gene pool by removing themselves from it - a lot of stories up here about people who have done stupid things - some authenticated, some not, but most are worth a good giggle and probably come under the heading of Urban legends.....
