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

Thank you Beatrice, Wilma and Apprentice.... all your comments have been included.

I just can't resist shoe boxes ... I keep them in cupboards, under the bed and in the shed.

I always seem to find empty shoeboxes around the house that were kept in anticipation of future use. Usually the cats curl up in them until they fall apart and get pitched (the boxes, not the cats ) The schools usually manage to require at least one shoebox a year for some project or another, as well.

Nicely done

For whoever it was that asked earlier (can't remember now), fire safes come in all sizes and shapes, there are several models that would also fit under the bed or in the bottom of the closet. They lock with a key or combination and protect your documents from fire. I don't know if they're waterproof for flooding, but they're pretty difficult to break into as well, and somewhat heavy for a thief to cart off. Smallest I've seen is about the size of two shoeboxes sitting side by side.

I don't go so far as to put photos on the end, but I do have sticky labels with a description of the shoes so I can identify which ones I'm after. Not really worth it, since I don't have many shoes. (Awkward feet, you see.)

My school used to run a shoe box appeal. The teacher's often covered the boxes in Christmas wrapping paper and asked us all to bring one item.

Anyway, that's all by the by, great entry!

Thank you for your kind words Milos and Elentari.

This one seems about cooked to me, what say ye all?

Aye!

Thanks Wilma, I'd almost forgotten about this little shoebox.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Well done, Fizzy!

I got an automated message from the BBC

What happened to our DNA messages.


Thanks Bel.

I left them a message asking for an explanation the moment I saw the first one.

I noticed and saw that they jumped right to it.


Do you think DNA is a thing of the past now ..... have the BBC moved on.

I don't expect a reply, but I had to ask.
I hope you're not right

I hope I'm not right too .... but why else would this auto message suddenly appear ..... I'm going to check my emails.

I'll await your report

Nothing different.

Well, that's something.

That message from the machine up above says >>We hope this explains everything.<<

It doesn't explain where poor old DNA Messages went ......

I don't like my entry being picked by a machine - it wasn't written by a machine, and it wasn't scouted by a machine, so why did the big machine come Bel.
