Go with the Flow Yes, that's River Avenue. It runs along the river, which is pretty in the late fall sunlight. It's reminding us to 'go with the flow', which here on h2g2 is an inviting prospect, especially in November. Because NaJoPoMo brings out a veritable flood of intriguing ideas. Are you reading along? This week, we bring you Icy North's observation on language, plus some world-travelling by our yarnspinner, Paulh, who just keeps thinking up more ways to get his character around the planet. Speaking of getting around the planet, we are. From South Africa comes a new painting by Willem, and lots of information about the hedgehog, which is surely one of nature's most endearing creatures. Heading north and east, the h2g2 mail carrier has snapped up a photo by Solnushka, our reporter on the spot in Russia. Be amazed at the space monument, and help us think up a caption or three. We have other stories for you: one will have you checking your life insurance policy to see if you're covered for submarine attack, another will make you reach for your local cinema listings, and more than one (hopefully) will have you chuckling over your morning coffee. That's what we're here for. Read, and let us know what you think. The usual plea, send Stuff, and have a great week out there! Dmitri Gheorgheni
