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

Thursday - origin: 'From the Old English for ‘day of thunder’, translated from Latin Jovis dies ‘Jupiter’s day’. Jupiter was the god associated with thunder.'
Beware of inflicting the wrath of Jupiter upon yourself, Aximili!

So that's a 'no from you, Weirdo? Have you joined the Thursdayites yet? It seems that you may find the experience profitable.

did I say no?

Make your mind up

If you really need a 'yes' from every friend of yours, I shall not be in your way.
As for me, I am not fit for campaigning, being timid by nature, overworked and generally tongue-tied by linguistic imperfection.
I may be able to benefit from the 'Thing' thing by ing.

All right. i'll tally you up on the official thread.

I've made my descision. Please go to the main thread to find out what it is. Provided you're interested, of course.

Congratulations! I can't find the main thread, though...

It's the one in caps lock. (THIS IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW) But you're not that computer illiterate, right?

trouble-maker, moi?

I'm subscribed to that now, and am undergoing the monumental task of looking through the back-log.

*cough*

*splutter*



Reading the backlog of N3??? Are you mad?

Lesser mortals have run screaming. There's nearly 90,000 posts (give or take about 600 or about 30 pages/LEDs)

I only got to post 65. Then I gave up. I also tried to read the BOE, while it is very interesting it is also very long, I only made it to about 500. I think.

I always enjoyed the spectacle of Iranians making chemical weapons in the swimming pool in that thread.

Ah the B.O.E - where even the most insane and depraved have a home.

I subscribed to it...and then posted. The system then seemed to assume that I'd read all the backlog. Now I have no idea where I got up to

ah yes - it will do that.

I would suggest - if you are serious about reading the whole thing - break it into easily digestible groups of, say, 20 pages, and go from there. You should avoid getting lost that way; also, maybe a pencil and paper?

Paper and pencil? That is SO last century

you're quite right...have a chisel and this 3rd dynasty pyramid...

*Struggles with the pyramid*

One thing, this is a lot harder to lose than a slip of paper.

you see...that's progress.
