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

I fully understand and agree

I thought you would

I don't think we're making any turnover on the light Xmas ale.. what if we skip all that and just make the real stuff?

I never was too fond of light beer..

real .. inflammable

well.. so .. build a distillery .. mm..

* gets a mobile phone and starts to order a lot of stainless steel *
* piping, pot, .. condensor .. mmm *
* instrumentation .. thermocouples .. mm pt ..compensators .. mmm, level indicators *

that should do the trick

Some switches maybe? I love switches.

switches ah yes, a lot of them .. and even one big red one marked STOP.. I think we'll use it to stop the process

Why stopping?

well, if you start something you should be able to stop it as well?

Are you sure about it? Someone has to start the avalanches as well.

yess.. good point .. well, avalanches cause damage and we don't want this to do that

now don't you worry about avalanches, damage and all that.. barrels brandy don't come crashing down like that

Ah, good. Would be shame if they did.

only when they're full don't worry, this is also taken care of

now can you please hold this pipe here? while I fix the other end?

* bolt bolt bolt bolt turn turn turn turn *

*holds pipe*

You know what, I just got this idea that if you start to distill here, I probably shouldn't smoke around here...

once we get the thing started, probably not. for the time being I think you'll not cause any explosions .. or fires

for the time being it is perfectly safe

* drops a wrench on his toes *

almost safe that is

Mostly harmless?

totally harmless .. unless the dinosaur starts to throw tools around

ok ok ok .. time to do a test run?

* fills the still and turns heater on *
* cools the condensor *
