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

Sorry Phooley it's meant to be a play on words of Winston Churchill I'm currently reading his biography I was just getting carried away and going inot election mode I suspect.

Sizing should always be specified in the HTML... complain!!

Fair enough, I recognized Chruchill's speech but it didnt make any sense when you said it, being in a picky mood...I picked it.

Correction: sizing should usually be specified in the HTML. I have occasionally come across a situation in which I felt it was not the correct thing to do... ... but now I come to think of it, I can't actually think of any specific examples... so this is a pretty useless posting... I'll shut up now.

Is there a towel smilie.... is there?!?!?!!?

That's fantabulous!!!

I like the empty glass... shouldn't there be a half full/empty glass too though?

my smilie of the week!

I think that if there is going to be an election the will come in very handy

*gazes wistfully at *

MaW, have some

Heh heh heh, soon there won't be any need for actual text.

We need a few more smileys before we can accomplish that entirely I think... about 5,000 or so.

We could start up an entirely new hieroglyphic language!

*thinks* Actually that's quite an interesting point. The use of smileys is almost a step backwards in written language, towards early forms of writing, based on iconic pictures.

Oh yes, so it is... fascinating

I think we really need a <!> and <?> smiley for those times when you really want an exclamation/question mark.
As for needing smiley pictures, all we need are 26 not 5,000 - , , , etc...

<BB<

Yeah, but that's not so amusing (or for that matter).

That's not a different language though - that's just an alternate way of representing English-alphabet text.

What Peregrin describes is more like Chinese.
