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

Honestly. I'm away from my computer for a few days, and suddenly we have our millionth Unumber.

Many congratulations to you, One Million. I'm very happy that you landed on h2g2 rather than any of those other sites.

"That number is what they gave Dontbry at the time of registration. Most of the user numbers are not used by users, usual they skip some during big changes in the site.

The last years we 'lose' numbers due to other site activities, think of iCan groups. . . "

You are GreyDesk and I claim my £5

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Many equally nice perhaps, but none nicer.

But now I'm wondering how you worked it out to be our old friend Bureau d'Gris.

Oh... it's a mere stab in the dark, but it's well known about this parish that he was in the front running for U200000, although he never actually owned up to bagging it.

I therefore make a simple deduction and put two and two together

I accused him quite a long time before he nicked it - does that qualify me for the money?

B

No.

Odd, isn't it, how GreyDesk goes offline just before Mr 'One Million' comes on...

B

Purely coincidental I'm afraid, but I doubt you'll believe me.

nighthoover! its nighthoover! *faints

i want 2 cancel this account what 2 do

GreyDesk is enough to know how to keep two h2 accounts open at the same, so the fact that you may never see GD and One Million in the same room at the same time is neither here nor there

But Desk is also idle enough not to bother to open the second browser that would allow him to do that.

Well yeah, there is that
