See you shortly - the Murray Building was closed and we're being chucked out of the library.
Also, go to Ian's page and promote the Christians in H2G2.

Fabulous profundity! How did you arrive at your earth-shattering, world moving, and general shaking things up idea? And which sort of cheese and fish? Are there different ones in different compounds? For instance, which of the three (or combination thereof) make up feather dusters or nail clippers?

Peregrin Posted Nov 8, 1999
Well...I personally think nail clippers must be made of equal amounts of roasted amoeba and fish. They must be an opposite composite to the nail clippings themselves, which are purely made of cheese.
Hey wait a minute. Fish and Cheese are my catchphrases, not yours, Roasted Amoeba. This is a breach of copyright. I will have to levy a tax of fifteen pounds of fish every time you use them.

Hang on - Fish is MY catch phrase! I've been saying it since 1996 when I wrote my Fish trilogy.

As Bluebottle has pointed out, fish is in fact HIS catchphrase. That leaves you with cheese, which I have temporarily borrowed. I am simply copywronging it, with no permanent damage intended or inflicted. Use "Emmental" or something like that, and I won't copy it. But you pinching the word "cheese" is just unacceptable, when it is one of the three main elements of the universe. All respected physicists need to be able to use it in all intelligent debates.
So there.

Tim, Ian said "Cheese" first, so it is copywrong Peregrin.
As for my "Fish" trilogy, I once wrote a book called "How To Lightly Toast A Marshmallow On One Side Using Only Chopsticks And TCP Fifteen Minutes After The End Of Time Yet Still Study A Week In The Life Of A Mayfly In June Getting Home In Time For Lunch And Finally Sitting Down With A Nice And Hot Cup Of Tea Watching Paint Dry All Around You", but as that wouldn't fit on the spine of a book, I shortened it to "Fish".
It was written as a trilogy in 6 parts - each part being half of a third of a trilogy.

Someone must have taken a very big picture....

Actually I think I've found the answer:
A roasted amoeba called Peter was taking a photo of a fish, using a flash, and he said, "Cheese," but when the flash went off it accidentally warped the space-time continuum, and caused the word "cheese" to be elongated far past its usual length, causing the strange effect.
