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

Just had a "thought", what about glue (talking of sticking)?

Beer.

Any system which unable to adapt to change is inevitably doomed.

Don't say this wretched (sorry, I mean wonderful) machine is ready for the scrapheap - it don't like change, especially a complete re-installation!!!!

I think we've got another to add to the list - hic!

the millenium wheel in london! (yeh, right!)

if you changed the surface of the world's roads, so it was continuos bumps like this: ~~~~ a square "wheel" (which in fact WOULD NOT be a wheel) would work better!!!

solvce that one!!!!!

sweets (or candy for you americans, not that i'm being racist, I was just saying..., oh what the heck!)

sticky tape, nails, adhesive, there are endless alternatives!

Sticky tape? That has a "glue" on one side, i.e. adhesive! Therefore they aren't alternatives in the real sense as they are really glue!! Yeah? Maybe, I should have said "adhesive".
However, nails ...... hmmmm ...... hmmmmm ...... can't think of an alternative to nails (at least you can build a ship using them!) Another one to the list. Keep going everyone!!!!!!

Aha, but supposing there were no "roads"? Any alternatives to roads?

Sorry, I sort of meant "useful/needed" things that can't be totally replaced. Do we really "need" the Millenium wheel, & is it really "useful"? Unless you're a very bored hamster!!!!(Sorry again - the old ones are sometimes the best!) Keep on thinking .....

Hey man! You thought of a good one - ice!!!!!!!!!

Hey Shirps, what were you saying when you replied to my post?

Hi, it's me again? Something ELSE than me which is absolutely necessary? Well, it's really hard to think of something...Well, what about THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY? I don't know anyone who can lead a cheerful life without it.
Another thing could be women. Nobody can lead a cheerful life with them...

I order Iodine to eat a cookie.
Thank you.

What about CDs? Without the wheel, CD's wouldn't exist, and nor would I, and I'm a crucial part of existence on Earth! And I agree about H2G2 and the women, Bud. And Without any of you guys/girls, (+ Jinx, Cow, Skelly, GreeboBluebottle, Menza, Me, The Great Unknown, Sentinel, Anonymouse, and anyone else I've met. Infact, add 5 times for the females.) life wouldn't be so great.

"I guess we've reached an ideal conclusion, actually, about this matter.
So I'll leave you all to it now " from yourself JB

Do you mean the above post? I thought you'd left the converse!
Glad to see you're back
Shirps

There is absolutely nothing, I repeat nothing, that can replace women & mankind certainly can't exist without them, i.e. I can't exist without me!!
(Except for a large proportion of a tribe in Africa that are born "hermaphrodites" & can choose which sex to be - I suppose they can love themselves all the time too!!!)

"Nobody can lead a cheerful life with them ...." ooooh, you're trying to stir up trouble aren't you?

Why must Iodine eat a cookie? Are you suggesting there is no replacement for a cookie? What has Iodine done to deserve a cookie & why must he be ordered to do so?
