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

See subject for first sentence. What on earth's a serial number? I am, due to lack of brain cells, confused by your application form.

Hi Roadkill, one of the warfare conventions I drew inspiration from for the Cat War was WW2 movies where soldiers are captured and they are only supposed to reveal their name, military rank and serial number.

When you join a club, society or affiliation on h2g2 you usually give your user number (mine is U167454) to the person managing the entry (such as the Dog House). They need it because the GuideML code that is behind the h2g2 site uses it to include you in lists and things like that (such as the roll of hero's on the Dog House). Your user number is U185550 - you can find it out by visiting the users u-space or by holding the cursor over your name in a thread but I just thought it`d be fun to pretend user numbers were military serial numbers. Sorry to have confused you. Are you thinking of joining us ?

Red Dog

Defn'tly. I'm a doggy person, me.

Outstanding . We have an induction centre at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A655869.

If you fill in a few details on the form you were asking about and hit the recruitment button you`ll post to the recruitment thread. Once you do that all other recruits will know you`ve joined our merrie band

I visited your page btw - nice job. Feel free to drop round my space anytime.

Cool. Thanks 'bout the page. Yeah, litte bit unsure about what to join as, probably linguist.

And, completely off the subject, isn't Red Dog a gambling game?

*accesses memory banks*

I do believe you might be right Roadkill (love your name btw). Something to do with Montana I seem to recall.

Yeah. I tried playing it, I think that it's both simple and really hard at the same time. Montana? I don't know.
