Collaborative Efforts
Created | Updated Jun 20, 2003
This column is dedicated to the shameless promotion of collaborative efforts by bonafide h2g2 researchers. Collaborative pieces are those that any old researcher can toss their two pence-worth into, gaining credit, fame, and fortune (well, two out of three isn't bad).
This week's featured article is WowbaggerTIP's search for accountability for the Almighty God. Sometimes God is credited with omniscience, but clearly there are some things he could have done better. Wowbagger is collecting 101 of God's Greatest Mistakes although it clearly could have gone continued for longer.
The requisite sample from this article, to recommend it to you?
Check these out:
No.3 Male nipples: Another of those useless bits of the anatomy that are a hindrance. One swift tweak is pretty painful. Their only use, at this stage in our evolution, is in the application of nipple clamps, which is not going to greatly benefit all men, let's face it.
No.12 Dust: It gets everywhere. And there's no point to it. All it does is aggravate people's sinuses and mess things up... and get in your tea, of course.
No.19 Rush Hour Traffic: This is an extremely silly name for what it actually is, the traffic doesn't seem to go very fast. It is also stressful, dirty and deeply, deeply unpleasant, much like a bad opera in a sewer.
No.20 Nasal Hair: As one gets older, it becomes a real pain. It isn't just the stupid look of the stuff and how cutting it is the last thing you want to do, but it's the way stuff sticks to it, particularly when you have a cold.
Other great mistakes await you on Wowbagger's page... go and see how the guy who invented Christmas had to get a bit of practice in first!
Researchers interested in a bit of free advertising can contact me on my homepage. If I find your collaborative effort interesting or entertaining, it'll find its way into this column, after several stops for directions and an engine overheat.
