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

and obviously it is much easier for me, with the conceptual randomness of this thread, who has to worry about context,

also in truth, I can't really claim it as my own, it was more of collective daydreamers quote as I just cobbled bits together over a days postings

still I shamelessly will

I had a daydream about what would happen if we ran into UFOs who had their edition of the guide - would we have to write in our edition about what they had in their guide, which if they were doing the opposite thing, would become a never ending problem

Of course, the real thing would be to combine the two editions, which would be a nightmare, but a crucial first step into establishing the full h2g2

I wonder if they have a equilivant

they might even have an editor to check spelling

I would hope they do!

But, dear god, do they have an equivalent of Pastey


Or far, far worse - an equivalent of 2legs?

They might even have contributors who bother to check their OWN spelling...and GuideML...

Don't pick on a disgruntled Editor, here. Not *this* week...

an 2legs,our 2legs, the two of them meeting, now my mind is boggling,

I bet no-one has thought to consider that in their 'first contact ontological shock' scenerios

Is it a hard day/week Ed and *gluten free luxury snacks*

r u dreaming or having a nightmare?
in a dream "they" would make the merge happen in a blink of an eye...

Back atcha. Yeah, there's been a lot to do.

Okay, is up, folks. At A87779993

The FP is also new, so I am going to relax until later.

no in a nightmare they'd merge

In a dream they'd cancel out

I think 2legs is the same in all possible universes.

Nowhere is safe? You mean all my work on my cross-universe transporter is wasted

Yep. 2legs and cats - the trans-universe constants.

So you can escape death and taxes?

Why not?

death, no

taxes, well, depends on your moral compass i guess how much escaping you would want to do, not that is a discussion I particulary looking to explore here

given the diversity of opinion, nationalities, galaxiness (you spell that how? )

and how much we'd be bothered to track you down in a or some such

Oh, death can eventually be avoided. When it becomes unnecessary.

But taxes are easy if you have a . Just deposit a penny in the bank of your choice (one that won't have a scandal or go crash), back in a previous century... Not original, but effective.

Did you ever read Eugene Sue's blockbuster novel, 'The Wandering Jew'? Immortal guy in that story invested a chest full of money for his descendants, then there was a scramble over it...

no I haven't read the book

all I know, from Dr Who is that if you do investments, have sneaky peeks on lottery tickets, while time traveling

it comes back to bite back you on the arse

could be worse mind, your great grand parents could look positively *swooney and swashbuckling and very fetching in bodices*

under, long dresses, smocks and dungerees,there could be no end of gagdetry

and you never knew

causes no end of trouble

somehow that made sense in my head

I'm going for better not avoid you taxes in any dimension

rather than snog your grand parent

I'd also like to add my poll tax thingy has been written off
