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

My project on the events listed in Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" is nearly finished!

Unfortunately, there are still a few topics on which I remain blissfully ignorant, and would really appreciate a handful of paragraphs (no more) on.

If anyone could find it within themselves to write 200-300 words on any of the following, please let me know:

- The King And I (the film)
- Vaccine (1952 polio in particular)
- Santayana Goodbye
- Alabama (particularly the problems in 1956)
- Kruschev
- Ole Miss (riots)
- British Politician Sex (Profumo affair)
- Birth control (pills)
- Punk Rock
- China's Under Martial Law

Many thanks in advance.

I can do Kruschev.

What kind of stuff are you after? And where do you want me to post it?

I'll do The King and I

Hi there count me in .... Grey desk if you want to have a look at some of the things that are in the project so far I'm sure there's a link to it on my space, or in the post or master b will give you one.

all you have to do is as master b says click on contribute and write so many words on your chosen theme ( themes are as master b has written) and click post (or something to that affect perhaps its even add anyway its all quite clear).

Yeah, Desky. Just give us a link to an entry and I'll pile it all up together.

as requested <./>A2619678</.>

That were quick, opti.

I wasn't in _that_ much of a hurry.

B

Oh boy, Master B, I have a sense of deja vu here... Can I do Profumo???

I seem to recall causing a bit of a stir when I asked to do it before. If I'm in the soup again, please tell me and I'll creep away again like a little mouse

Fb

No, go ahead, please. Mina's obviously not got her arse in gear yet.

B

Thinks about the gear that Mina's a**e is most likely to be in...



B

Stop it!



B

Behave yourself fellas

OK Master B. Give me a couple of days. And on your head be it if Mina gets her knickers in a twist

Fb

Master B

I just wrote a bit about Profumo, then went to check the right title (British Politician Sex) on your list of topics from the song - only to click on it and find it already has a write-up

I guess Mina wrote it after all eh? Unless you're trying to have 2 write-ups about each topic?

Off to find something to do with a page of blurb about Profumo and Christine Keeler

Fb

I am confused. I assume the page you refer to is A2110069, which most certainly does not have a link.

B

The page I'm referring to is: http://uploader.wuerzburg.de/gym-fkg/schule/fachber/englisch/joel/songtext.html

which, of course, isn't in h2g2. I didn't look at the address until then

I'm going to bow out of this project after submitting Profumo: it's too confusing for me

Fb

Here's Profumo A2625239


Fb

Thank you muchly for all your assistance.

But not for confusing and worrying me.

Master B

Any more you want me to do?


Fb

I thought you'd given up?
