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

Light, are you saying that there are only 2 rainforests left?

So slightly more than equatorial than polar as to be a *un touquet* in the words of TLG DNA

six7's

pardonnez moi, bad england

So slightly more equatorial than ....etc
six7's

* running out of ideas... *

Well if its more equitorial than polar, then we're heading for the tropics which is where the deserts are. Could this be a link into the word back up the thread "lick" - Desert / Dessert

Of course not J!

Cant help with more ideas tho!

Maybe I should read the backlog to find out what the question is!

I am a desert (if not a quite a dessert), yet surrounded by an abundance of life...
and I ain't gritty
six7's

* already dreading GD's next question... *

I wouldn't worry St J, If "Arctic Roll" isn't the answer then I'm stumped as well.

If 'Arctic roll' is the answer, I dread to think what the question is!

* giggles *

My toes are 250m above sea level and 19km from the coast
My head gets 30m of snow per annum

Well you're a glacier obviously.

* reaches for atlas to start reeling them off one by one.. *

Thank !!

Bravo GD... were my clues too cryptic?

Anyhow

FYI

Franz Josef Glacier
aka
Ka Koimata o Hinehukatere
the tears of the Avalanche Girl

latitude 43.5 degrees south
longitude 169 degrees west of Greenwich
directly opposite the NW corner of Spain

Only 7,000 yrs old
12km long
advancing at 1.5m per day,
10 times faster than the average valley glacier

No the clues weren't that cryptic. I think we got there by brute force rather than by subtle intuition

Anyway, I know your hearts have all sunk now that you know that I am setting this next question. Well as a change from football and obscure art questions, I'll ask you something simple.


How long is my hair?

What unit of measure would you like us to use?

mm or smaller?

And do you mean the hair on your head or your face?

*and I thought mine was obscure!*


45cm and in dreads

There is a short retort to comments like that, but I won't say it


I want measurements to the millimetre.

To help anyone who has not met me IRL, there are photos of me linked from the "London 2002" page (A692552)(hint - try Parrferris' collection). I am the large skinhead wearing the "Police State Do No Cross" t-shirt.

Assuming head hair

I would go soemwhat different to six7's and opt for about 50mm (even if you have been growing it I think we are at under 1cm here)
