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

Hi mustapha, how's it going?

I see since the last time I was here the society has really taken off - well done for all the good work.

I have a link about the history of Capoeira (a brazilian sport/cultural practice) i'd like added at http://www.h2g2.com/A315776 that i'd like added. It's only in text form at the moment, but I will be updating it shortly.

Thanks.

I've got an article on Charles Wesley here:

Hey guys, the Society's been updated!

Two brand spankin' new External Links, and updates to the most of the Wings.

BB, your Entry's gone into the Prominent People wing.

Let me know what you think!

I think Ye Olde Linke is broken.

Arrr, I think ye be right!

But I leaped in the briny and harpooned the beastie right between the eyes!

Aarrrrr!

I don't know If I should be posting something like this here, but I did a guide entry on the Daedalus and Icarus mythhttp://www.h2g2.com/A332948 . I was wondering if you thought it was of sufficient historical basis to be included in the society. Also is it worth submitting as technically it's fiction, not to mention someone else's story?

Lusk

While the story of the Daedalus & Icarus is an old one, it's not intrinsically *historical*. If the Entry was about the history of the story, eg when it was first written or when subsequent versions were written, then it might fit the criteria (which I really must put a copy of up on the Society's main page). Or perhaps if there was some evidence as to the story's veracity like "Found! the Labyrinth of Minos!", then that might be worth a link.

I've got an article called
How The Beatles Did Not Get Their Name at:
http://www.h2g2.com/A336449

Sure thing.

Let it BB!

Just a short notice of updates to the Society pages.

The external links this week: Norman Rockwell and the Zoroastrians

It was just an excuse to post to a communtiy forum really, I was hiding from the bloodhounds

Here's one:

Mmmmm... doughnuts!

Out of curiousity, did you add that Beatles one? I can't find it in the Musical History section...

Oops, my bad! Sometimes my little postits go walkabout on me. But fret not, it's *definitely* on a prominently-displayed t list to go in this week.

Short notice to say that the Society's pages and wings have all been updated, and that there are three, yes *three*, brand spankin' new external links!

It isn't quite finished yet, as I intend to expand it some more, but it isn't going anywhere... the story of the RMS Titanic: http://www.h2g2.com/A372584
