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

lol! Not yet! It'll take me another eight years at least!

Besides, it's not out to get you unless you abuse it.

You don't hit your computer, do you?

no i dont hit computers
i pounded my vcr once... but the ends justified the means becasue if worked as soon as i'd pounded it...

i've decided that i love all h2g2 smileys they're all so cute!!!

Well a kick in the right spot is a valid repair technique, after all... it even works on humans, sometimes!

Okay you've convinced me; I'm going to have to create a Smiley Zoo.

oooh! a miley zoo!!!
will you tell me when its done? so i can come and visit?

Sure! I'll put it on my intro to start off with, although if it works I might make an entry for it, but I'll let you know here in this thread (I hope).

Probably not in the next few days, though, 'coz I have that essay due in on friday, and I've also stupidly just started an entry on the seven wonders of the ancient world which I'm going to have to finish...

wow! the seven wonders of the aincient world... what's that?


hooray a smiley zoo!!!!! i'm so excited! i cant wait! i'll go and visit it and pet the animals when i miss you and you're not here...

Oh, NOW I find the right thread to let you know about the zoo... but that's okay you know now...

The seven wonders of the ancient world were mostly greecian structures which were considered must-see's for the tourists of the time (during the reign of Alexander the Great, I believe.) The only one which still exists is the pyramid at Giza. The others are: (see if I can do it from memory...) The lighthouse at Alexandria, the largest and most powerful lighthouse for centuries... and remember they didn't have electricity. The statue of Zeus at Olympia, can't remember how big it was but it was pretty darn big. The collosus of Rhodes, even bigger again; the harbour entrance at Rhodes had a cliff on each side, and the statue had a foot on each cliff, so ships would sail into the harbour between his legs... until an earthquake toppled him so all that was left was his feet. The hanging gardens of Babylon, built by a king for his wife, who was from some tropical place, and got very upset when he bought her to his home which seemed like a dessert to her, so he had these gardens built which were just /incredible/; they had slaves working an intricate system of water pumps, to keep them green. And the temple of Artemis at Ephysis (can never remember how to spell Ephysis), another big temple with beautiful architecture and statues and stuff.
They probably would have added the Great wall of China and Stonehenge to the list, but the Greeks at the time had never been that far, so they didn't even know about them. Besides, Alexander the great wanted the main attractions to be fairly local, to encourage tourism and trade.

wow thats so cool!
i wish i could have seen all of those things!

once for a project in gr.7 i was artemis.. it was really fun. i got to wear a sheet and pretend it was a toga. it was so much fun!

Of course I meant 'desert', not 'dessert', there.

its ok... no worries
i didnt even notice...
but if it really was dessert that would be even more reason for it to be an attraction...

That sounds /so/ good!

"The hanging of Babylon!"

...

I'm going to have to go for lunch soon... suddenly I'm really hungry...

lunch?

ok. have a good one

its 8:00 here and i dont want to stay up past 10....
so i should start saying goodnight at about 9:00 i'm so terrible at goodbyes...of anykind..

It's 3pm here, and I didn't have much breakfast today 'coz I slept in and was almost late for a test...
I would stay for a couple of hours until you leave and /then/ get some food, but I think the food court might be closed by then. Besides I'm really quite hungry... almost caught up to all the posts though... when I've caught up I'll sign out and leave, and sign in again when I get back.

ok sounds good

i dont want you to be hungry or anything.. so you should definately go eat

*whispers and pushes lightly on his arm*
be quick... jsut incase i dont get to talk to you on thurs.... i miss talking to you when you're not here....
