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

*takes one of the mbougatses that appears on a tray carried through some tunnel by a bot*

*eats some mbougatses* Mmmm, delicious.

*hollers down the tunnel*

Thanks!

I'm thinking of experimenting with an Infinite Improbability French Press, but I don't know what IIEM will say about it...

Get overly jealous?

That's what I'm thinking, yes.

- you may want to try to cover it.

*looks momentarily confused*

Oh, I get it.

*puts over IIFP*

Now the IIEM will never know it's there!

The only way to find it out would probably be to try to get a drink out of IIEM.

What do you mean?

Well, if it's really angry... You'd need someone else to try the drink for you, methinks. No, thanks, I'm not volunteering.

Oh. Understood.

IIEM, can I get a Greebo special?

* appears. It /looks/ normal.*

Yessss?

This, see, is the situation where I would normally call on Affy or GL to do a chemical analysis of the milk. But...

*drinks*

*Looks at *

Well, it's not poisoned... but it seems to be bottomless? I've been drinking it for 9 hours!

Erm.. Is that good or bad?

No, it hasn't gone bad, either. It's seemed to stay at exactly 2 degrees above freezing. Perfectly chilled. But, you know, it's whole milk. So maybe IIEM's trying to give me a heart attack?

Maybe IIEM is just trying to please you? But then, if it's endless then from there on you'll ignore IIEM. Confusing, really..

IIEM!

[IIEM]: Vanilla latte pronto!

*sips latte*

You know, what really worries me about all this experimenting stuff is that IIEM seems to able to read minds.

Yes.

Read minds.

Should we use some helmets or put paper bags over heads or something?

Wait! It's only your mind it reads. You must be wearing that on your sleeve.

Only *my* mind? Are you sure? *looks baffled'

IIEM, what does Hati want right now?
