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

if your wanted to be famous/infamous over night

- what would you do?

I would take over radio and tv for day to make people think what they are doing to

I would do an modern version of 'diary of a nobody':

I'd get connected to lots of equipment that would read all my reactions, bodily, facial, and unconscious (through lie detector equipment and GSR tests etc.). I would leave nothing secret. Everything about my day - my interactions, my reactions - would be chronicled exhaustively and covered on a website.

I'm sure I'd crack if I did this, but I'm sure there's somebody out there who would do this.

I'd take a vaccum cleaner and raid the inner chambers of the house of commons

a bit obvious maybe, but shoot george bush or possibly dr phil.
not a mortal wound.
or maybe just throw lots and lots of sticky glitter at them so they had to walk round covered in glitter for the rest of their lives.
anyone who has had extensive dealing with glitter will agree: it does NOT come off.

I'm seriously considering doing this (Alright, I know I should probably be locked up).
I want to do a 'human taxi service' in London. Near Covent Garden they have those bicycle things that can take you around the central London area. I'd like to do a human taxi service where a group of people simple pick up the traveller and run to their destination while carrying them. I'm sure the crazy tourists would love it. And it would most certainly be covered in local news.
If anyone else is mad enough to want to do this for a week or something in summer let me know.

Also, anyone interested in an H2 flash mobbing?

I'd climb a hill and shout. Then everyone would see me. Sorted.

I've often thought about a flash mobbing but have yet to come up with a suitable target/ thing to do when we get there

Yeah, it would have to be something pretty weird, but simple.

How about getting about 50 people go to a swimming baths and at the agreed time all pretend to be drowning? See what the lifeguard does.

Hmmmn, if 50 people flashmobbed a swimming pool and all started being together, chances are someone would end up drowning and we couldn't tell who!

Win the lottery and SPEND SPEND SPEND!!!!!

We could do it all on the _side_ of the pool...

I definitely want to do a flash mobbing!

Who else is in?

We need to agree on a location (London is most convenient for me) and something to do.

All ideas gratefully received.

I think we should all go dressed as Arthur Dent - pj's, robe et al
