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

I Like It. This is just the kind of information that an Earthbound hitchhiker has to have at their disposal, especially if they come from an environment where the term is unknown.

I think the only real problem is in the origin. The baby wipes you mention in the 1980s were preceded by a smaller version used at restaurants and take out places for cleaning food-greasy hands. The baby wipes were an enlarged version with that specific market, to be sure; but they wetwipe, handy-wipe, wetnap, and some pink-packaged version designed for typists (back in the days of typewriter ribbons), all preceded the baby-wipe.

It may only be local, but I've been around awhile and cannot remember the last time somebody used wads of cotton on a baby's bottom. Seems that for more than 50 years, all I've seen used were washcloths and diapers.

Oh, you could use a couple of paragraph separators in the different varieties section.

It shouldn't take to long to get this one on its way.
