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

The Ministry of Magecraft is greatly saddened by the tyrranny of Real Life which forces you away from a regular column in the Post. We have enjoyed reading about developments at the cutting edges of technology, some of which have inspired us to greater creativity with our research into the boundary applications of magic, especially magic used as technology. Be proud, for your influence was the deciding factor in the development of a magical communication system which precisely replicates the function of a standard holographic video link, even though it does operate in an entirely different manner and is entirely immune to interference and interception except, of course, through other magical means.

Some of the penguins are talking about visiting San Beta in the near future to find out more about it for themselves. Perhaps I'll go with them. Perhaps we'll see you there.

Oooh...

Now who am I going to annoy with questions?

¦M¦

I'm sure you'll find someone

Heh heh.

¦M¦

* keeps a low profile *

Ooh! Someone else who writes for the Post!! You should have... er... drawn attention by yourself by not drawing attention to yourself...
But can I ask you questions??
(You can say no. )

¦M¦

Sure Ming Mang, you can ask me questions...

Ah, but will you answer them?

¦M¦

I've written for the post.

I know you've done at least one article.

¦M¦

What form do the questions take? :-p:-p

Text!

¦M¦

Yes Ming Mang, I'll probably answer them... then again, I might not. We'll see, won't we?

Ooh!
Now I'll see if I can think any questions up...

¦M¦

Oops. That was stupid. I clicked back and clicked post, thinking it hadn't posted, after having left my computer alone for hours.

Yes, it was very stupid. Because it didn't actually post anyway.

I'll answer them!

MaW and I'll sort you out.

*looks confused*

¦M¦

Basically, it boils down to "I'll answer questions too, if you want".

That and my having made an arse of myself.

Aha! I get it now!
OK cool. Now I just need to think of some...

¦M¦

What? All that and you don't even have anything to ask?

Honestly!
