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

Zeb: Not me! I was unconscious!

<...goes back to sleep.>

Same here. I was no where near the Moon. Though I feel that I know who's responsible....

*Suspiciously glances at various members of STUMPED*

Continuity argument...hmmm....we've got rockets, duct tape, saran wrap....we can fix it.....duct tape fixes everything!

I was thinking bout something more along the lines of using a space/time rift field generator to swap our current broken Moon with the Moon of another dimension that, up until this moment, is exactly like ours. They could try to retaliate, but the odds of them finding our exact dimension again would be astronomical.

... and their legal jurisdiction could never be extended to our plane of existance .

Well actually, Interdimensional Courts are a well-established phenomenon. For instance, Mike Nelson was once charged for the destruction of three different planets in three different dimensional locations, Sonic the Hedgehog's evil twin from an alternate dimension was once imprisoned for siding with the Dr. Robotniks in other dimensions, and supposedly there is a court system maintained by hyper-dimensional entities, such as FACE, Pan, Z, Q, The Ellimist, Crayak, and Drode. Somehow, I doubt that this latter court will care, and the odds of these other courts managing to track us down is a large one. It's risky, but it's cheap, easy, and non-time consuming.

[Dylan] [refrains from saying a snide comment about "time"-consuming] And if all else fails, we can always use Continuity Bleach!

[CATS] This guy are plot of holes making!

[Dylan] At least I can speak English fluently!

In the paraphrased words of Yoda when he met Ambassodor Kosh, "Speaking well not necessary is as long as understandable others find you."

I'm going to head to the labs to make this thing. I'll be back in about ten minutes.

i find messing with quantum and time isnt really worth the bother, as it goes

Yeah, I read that fight. It was pretty neat. Especially the battle location of Milliways.

I'm off now.

*Exits to the labs to build the device*

*considers having another 40 winks*

*Affy, meanwhile, is in his lab by now and is working on the project. KL suddenly blinks*

KL: We may have just made a terrible mistake....

*Refrains from mooning the court. Instead, he finishes his book and picks up the last Hornblower book: Hornblower and the Crisis. Reads the back cover.*

Cool. This book contains a novel that Forester was working on when he died. It was about 2/3 done and he had notes about how he wanted to complete it. The book also contains 2 short stories, the last one is called "the final", um, something. Anyway, it looks like it probably describes the end of Hornblower's career or life. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Triumphant, no doubt.

*Glances at the 4/5 moon. Shakes his head.*

Something really has to be done about that.

*A strange, glowing is surrounding the Moon*


Hey! I'm trying to zap it away now. You'll see the results.

[Corrigible] Uh-oh.

Zeb: Ummh... what the hell?

*The Moon vanishes for a split second, before being replaced with a normal Moon*


Okay everyone, I managed to "trade" Moons with a dimension where the Moon had not been destroyed, and MST3K went on for fourteen seasons. I tell ya, before I did this, that dimension would've been bliss.

And I hope it's a long time before the people in that dimension learn how to travel between dimensions.

*Closes up the last Hornblower book with a sigh.*

Well, he didn't die, but he had another encounter with an historic figure. Those were good books and I'm a little sad that they are done, but I'm also looking forward to reading something else. Eleven books was a lot!

*Ponders over his next book selection. Orders up "Frigates" from the library - a book Red Dog had recommended. Apparently it is about the real life person that Hornblower was modelled after.*
