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

There are some strong people in this world, Affy.

Yes, I've heard about these Slerpeez. They remind me of the HUD's at Joanna's Stall. I do hope the Slerpee (correct spelling of singular?) I try now won't taste of fishpaste!



The Professor tried HUD's several times at the Stall, but each time they turned out to fishpaste-flavoured, and sent him mad.

MMMM.... Slerpeez.... ::teaches the professor how to use the machine, and gets a slerpee for herself::

Anyone else feel like having a slerpee!??

I think that everything happens for a reason.... that's my response to all the spiritual strength commentary.

Thank you, St D.

And my motto is "Anything's Possible". Anyone who doesn't know my Laws of Infinity might not get that.

Infinite possibilities!!! YAY!!! Just like the slerpee machine... and please... call me Dragonfly or D... the Saint thing... ... well...

STD doesn't look great!!!

Very well then, D.

You can call me Prof, Professor or Chris.
Or even "high exalted GalaGroup Overseer, ruler of the greatest and most magnificent Government in the Known Universe and beyond," but that's stretching it a bit.

Sorry, I'm not going there. For religious reasons, I don't think that your government's the best one out there, sorry.

But I know what you mean about infinite possibilities. It's fun to try to be at war with the universe itself. You know all of those little naggy inconveniences in life? You lock car keys in the car, it starts raining while you walk in the park, no matter how hard you try, the people at a restaurant just can't quite get your order straight, etc. It's fun to count up how many of those things happen to you regularly, and then laugh at them.

Although I've noticed that the Universe has been escalating the war as of late. Ma mere getting cancer, people running out of student council forms so that I can't get one until after the last possible moment, people refusing to tell me that my inventions will never work, etc. So far I've still been winning, but I can tell that the Universe is trying.

Heehee...STD. I see your point, Dragonfly.

So Affy, what are you getting signatures for? Are you running for Student Council? Or are you starting an insurrection?

Be careful with that Slerpee, Prof. You don't want to get brain freeze. Dragonfly gave herself a terrific headache one time.

*Looks around.*

Now where did that time traveling, split personality type entity go to? He left the legos all over the floor.

Yeah Witty, I'm getting signatures so that I can run for a position on the student council next year. I would've been on it this year, but if you've been following my clues carefully enough, you'll know that I moved.

But, despite having to pick up the form after the last possible moment (someone stole all of them when I came, so I had to wait until after the deadline), I managed to pick up all of the necessary student (50) and teacher (at least 3) signatures just about two hours before it was too late.

As for that Englander, I can't tell you where he left to. But I can offer a cheap and easy to maintain answer to your Lego problem. I've got a few robots designed just for this....

Don't worry WM - nothing can give me a headache. Save maybe the complete bunglings of my Watch sometimes.

And Affy, I know /precisely/ what you mean. The Universe has been doing things on a larger scale as of late, I'm sure of it! I always refer to it as the Laws of Typicality (aka Sod's Law), but I'm still working on that theory.

*Tries Slerpee.*

Whoah! Where did this machine learn about the spices of Magnachoka!? It tastes just like it!
Oh, sorry, that's a planet in the west quadrant of San Alpha.

You are sorry it's a planet!??

How sad...

The universe is putting up a fight, and threw me a couple curve balls recently, but overall I think it's not as bad as everyone tries to make it out to be!!!

I'm not sorry it's a planet. It's an industrial planet, but it's still quite pleasant!
No, I meant that I was sorry for not mentioning it earlier - none of you knew what Magnachoka was.

Actually, Tonks, you've been beaten to this series of laws, postulates, and theorems. There's a guy I know of named Murphy who's published several books on the subject.

I know about him.
I'm approaching it from a different angle, trying to work out just when these things happen...

::sigh:: Scientists...

Oh, we're a nice bunch really, aren't we Affy?

*EaE comes down the third isle left of the assembly talking to each other...*

Hallo! Hey, I´ve just been to the very beginning of time, and tried to talk to God about the possibilities I´ve got entering as a single person into the multiple entety field, still having to be designed by post year 3000 (if Jesus hasn´t returned by then ). Well as usual I didn´t get a deffinite answer but a number and a hyperlink guess whereto... THIS PLACE! So I hope you know what God was talking about...

{I wonder... Did I meet god at all, or was it a form of my dream? Or some krishna? Or the ultimate compendium to the hhgttg...?}

Yeah, most science is *FUN*! I mean, just think of all of those hilarious scientists out there! Bill Nye, Beakman, Dexter, Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. X, Dr. No, Dr. Evil,....the list goes on.

You forgot my favorites: Dr. Hook, Dr. Feelgood, and the Spindoctors...

Ah yes, scientists can be the best comedians around.

You know, the sheer enormity of the Primary Labs on the Space Station was actually based on Dexter's Laboratory.

What Book or Video is that from. I don´t know any Dexter than the one who played in "Denver" Is there a book or video available here?
