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

Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiison!!!!! Don't leave! Okay, well, leave if you want, I'll always be there to torture you at school.

Females have more interesting screen names...? I don't know, seems to me that most of the guys on h2g2 have more interesting names than the girls... at least, those I can tell which they are. But I'm rambling....

Interesting names seem to be equally distributed, I think, between male and female.

As long as nobody else has the audacity to call themselves Roasted Amoeba, then I shall be happy...

They wouldn't dare! If they do, I'll personally sack them for ya.

(unfortunately, I did a h2g2 search for my name one day and found about thirty permutations in the users of h2g2. )

I just did a quick search, and I am pleased to say that you are the ONLY Amy with a cross after your name...

hehehe... I'm an in-di-vid-U-al. Speciale. Or something like that, I think... so I've been told...

Oh yes. You most definitely are.

Thank-ye much, kind sir.

Everybody is equal... just some are more equal than others...

And everybody I know is special. Including my pet cheese.

That Napoleon the Pig guy... he had some rather interesting ideas, didn't he?

I really ought to read the book (I only know about it because we briefly studied Russia/communism in my history class last year and a discussion of that book/several movies based on the book were necessary)....

Ah right. Well, I have to admit I haven't read it... yet...

And that's about the only quote I know from it.

Erm... we are talking about George Orwell's "Animal Farm", aren't we...?

Sure are.

Personally I want to read 1984... the bad animation in the Animal Farm movie kinda turned me off to it entirely.

Bad animation? That was a classic. Almost up there with Watership Down.

I bought 1984 about two years ago. And I still haven't read it. Woops.

ddombrow... maybe we're not talking about the same cartoon one? perhaps? I have no idea. I watched it in my World Cultures class last year, and what I saw was pretty bad. It got the point across, though, which is really the whole idea, right?

RA... I was looking for 1984 at the bookstore at the strip mall a few streets over last weekend... I couldn't find it!! It just disappeared off the face of the earth! I need to read it, I've heard it's very interesting. Huxley's 'A Brave New World' too. Both seem very unusual and different.

Ah well then, when I've finished reading it I'll send it to you if you like...

Haha, perhaps.

just thought i'd but in

1984 and A Brave New World are both really good books (tho i think 1984 is a bit too hopeless and Brave New World is a bit too sci-fi for my taste, but hey...). Amy-- i'm sure they have them in our library at school (i think that's where i got at least one of them).

ok, i'm done.

yeah, I think you were the one who first told me about them. I'll have to check if they're in the library if I have time (time! what a novel idea!)

But of course, you know how i like sci-fi and hopeless... at least in books for the last one...

and i'm sure you meant that clever pun on "novel idea" right?

um, actually, i didn't try that one...

but my dad is the Pun King of the world, so I guess it's understandable that I would do such a thing.
