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

This is very well written, and I like the style you've adopted for it. However, it doesn't do much to explain what a gusset actually is, other than the dictionary definition at the top. Leaves some room for illumination. If you added just a few lines expounding on the definition, I'm certain it would turn this into an Approved Guide Entry.

As requested, I will nitpick this one as well. Much less to hit on here:

Paragraph one, "under-estimated" is one word; no hyphen required.

Paragraph two, opening line, the semicolon is not necessary. Gusset doesn't require caps, either. A comma is required beween soft and caressing.

Paragraph three: not 100% positive, but I'm fairly sure "two dimensional" needs to be hyphenated.

Paragraph four, a comma is required after "forsooth," and "hoiking" is a typo.

Paragraph five: A masterwork of the English language is somewhat belittled by the phrase "dingily dangly." Of course, this is a style comment, and is therefore easily ignored.

Paragraph six: Another style commentary, I think you overuse the "..." at the end. Whether or not you decide to minimize their use, however, it should always be exactly three dots, even at the end of a sentence. To avoid confusion as to when a sentence ends, it is best to either contain them in your sentences, or, if you must end a sentence with them, let it be the last one of the paragraph.
