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

<> Yes, I've not been swept into the North Sea yet (that's happening Friday, according to the Oracle in PR)

I have another guess, if I'm allowed, is it what Eunuchs have to do to be reunited with their lopped-off bits so they can be complete in Heaven?

Nothing to do with those bits, sorry.

hm... my boyfriend's an employe at a large toy store (big chain, they are toys...)

They seem to be getting small shipments in late in the week and putting them on sale saturday mornings... People arrive very early in order to get a 'ticket' to buy one when the store opens..

Maybe give em a call weds or thurs ask if they are doing the same if you have one near you?

sorry...


I think it could be eyeballs. I dont know why, but it seems like it could be suitably weird!

Sounds a bit like a Mafia thing to me.

Is it to get a prize in a really awful tombola?

Any chance you could drop by my PS, Robyn?

Is it your tongue from the bucket of blood? So you can tell St Peter your earthly sins before he admits you to the waiting area?

You're rapidly homing in on the correct answer, but not quite there yet!

OOoh.. This is so frustrating!


If you tell a lie to St Peter, the blood in the bucket will boil?

Find your face in a bucket of my blood

From that popular song by that well known band....

I'm running out of bodily parts!

Ooh, is it tears? You have to collect all the tears you've shed or made someone else cry?

*hopeful*

does it indicate whether you should use normal PVA, superglue or perhaps a waterproof paste???

Is it to retrieve your false teeth?

All your baby teeth that the tooth took?

Would it be to save the soul of a sinner ?

We have a winner!

Yes, it's your teeth.

Up until the end of the 19th Century, many people in the UK believed in folklore regarding how to handle their extracted teeth. These would often be collected in a jar, to be eventually buried with their owner. At Doomsday, any unaccounted for would have to be retrieved from a bucket of blood in Hell.

I'll award points later.

Wow! Live and learn.

GB's post didn't seem all that reasonable - until put in context.

Good Q, good A.

There will be a great wailing and bobbing for teeth!

..buried with their owner...

As a moral man, George Washington must have had a problem far surpassing affairs of State.

I won??? I thought it was a pretty wild guess!

When you said "We have a winner" I thought you meant the soul post, straight under mine, which I read first, and thought "That's it, why didn't I post that?"

Teeth, eh? I'd leave mine in the bucket.
