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

What it says. Tell us how the world stopped. Or how to do it, quick...

Oh Dmitri I do feel sorry for you all - no one has submitted any entries and it's already the 17th. Quite honestly, I would love to but have never had such an experience.

Also, I'm a little unsure as to exactly what is expected.

The only example I can think of is the apple falling on Isaac Newton's head, about which I know very little and there are loads more around who know (and understand) far better about Newton and his discoveries. Would that fit the category? Just asking.

Oh, sure it would, TC. That's a great idea - an aha moment would definitely do it! And yeah, somebody's going to come along and claim the apple thing didn't happen, just watch...but when that scientist's chocolate bar melted in his pocket and he invented the microwave, I'll bet it stopped *his* world...

But we have had several submissions already this month. See last week's Post at A87880251, and FWR's this week at A87883771.

The Post contributors send them directly, and then I forget to keep score.

And if this one doesn't grab you, I suspect next month's might... So keep watching!

Still working on January...

Very idea! Congrats to all!

Mid Feb isn't too late for a January submission? After all, procrastination is one of my Resolutions?

Hopefully, a volunteer will come along and give out badges one of these days.

Ahem! Badges are here!
