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

Sounds like a great idea to me - unfortunately, the only languages I can help you out with are all computer-related (sad, I know)...

Unless the phrase 'ho dikaiopolis elaunei tous bous' is of any use - it's one I learnt when I studied Ancient Greek many years ago and for some reason has stuck with me ever since... (it means "Dikaiopolis drives the oxen" - not spectacularly useful!)

I just got sent here by one of the Aces, Hello my name is Helena and among my talents I list fluent Norwegian... now what do you want me to do???

Hi, helena.

Initially, some handy Norwegian phrases with their equivalents in english would come in very handy. An introduction to the guide in Norwegian would also help, and I would like to place your name as a link to any Norwegians visiting the guide. There will be more help required as this will be an ongoing resource.

Thanks in advance for any help you can supply.

Oh bloody hell, that would involve thinking wouldn't it... right so where would I send these things, once I've thought about them and consulted with my fellow folks here (might as well ask a few of the natives)And, er stuff??

Go to the clinic, select discuss, and put the subject heading as Norwegian, or something, and I'll include it here.

Hey azimuth,

We all need to know how to communicate with machines these days, so I suppose if you could submit some tutorials under Computers as a subject heading, that would be cool.

Helpful things like how to say hello (logging in?) and how to make your computer say friendly things to you.

Hmm - could be worth a try... I'll think about it as I walk home. I'll get back to you with some ideas that we can knock around...
