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

I wanna join. I am a big fan of Doctor Who. My favourite aliens are The Daleks and Autons

You may join The H2G2 Doctor Who Group for free, my friend. Welcome to the world of Doctor Who! Yes I agree the Daleks and the Autons are among the best of the creatures in Doctor Who, but the Sontarans and the Cybermen have to be among my top favourites! So please, join and come on in, if you have the time... hahaha.

One of my friends pointed out that in the modern world the Autons are even scarier than back in the 1970s.

Just think how much damage living plastic could do.

Contact lenses, anyone?

Breast enhancements for all you girls?

Cling film? *thinks "Is that classed as plastic?"*

Clingfilm is, yes.

And what about all those iPod and Walkman headphones people have dangling near their necks on the bus and train?

Thanks for confirming that cling film is plastic! I have a really nasty image in my head of someone baking a cake and getting the cling film out to cover it from flies and so on, and then as they pull a strip of the stuff out from the roll it comes alive in their hands and sticks itself to their face. What about pens, or pencil sharpeners, or rulers?

Crikey, I'm still thinking about your comment on the breast implants Cyberhuman...........imagine them coming alive and doing some damage - eek!

I'm just looking around my desk.

Stapler.

Bottle of water. Keyboard, mouse, screen, telephone, plug socket, in-tray.

Buttons on my shirt... bits of my trainers...

Argh!
