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

Very true. When we lots of writing newbies, they almost always wrote their first entry about their hometown and they always said 'I come from X and it is very boring'. No matter where they lived - in the middle of a desert, by the Great Barrier Reef in one case, in a National Park, up a mountain etc etc, early h2g2 is full of all-but identical entries that say 'My hometown is very boring' no matter how completely different the towns themselves are.

How true.

Yesterday, in church, they played a video greeting from some missionary friends. This couple are really cool people who live in the Central African Republic right now, and do medical work with refugees from Sudan.

The doctor said, 'This is our house now. You see this stone behind us? It's volcanic rock. There are a lot of volcanic mountains here. In fact, right behind our house is the largest active volcano in the world...'

Now, THAT'S making a missionary video interesting! Woke up the whole congregation. Prayers were sincere.

I hope they continue to have a very boring (geologically speaking) stay

I wonder how the estate agents described that place? 'A des res with features that, during a lava eruption, uniquely bring the outside inside'.

I can just imagine that.
