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

Hi Sam,

well done with Rie's bio - you have done a great job she will be delighted with that.

Question: On her bio it names the boat Marie Rose and not English Rose - I have seen it referred to as Marie Rose on other bits of the site - does it go by both names? Seems like there are a lot of Marie's about - I thought I had called my Marie something unusual. Mind you as a girl she is mightly unusual and pretty wonderful too. So is Marie Christine, she is a remarkable lady and still looks so beautiful. What is her secret, perhaps she would like to share it with us all. Perhaps it is having John in her life, perhaps she could clone him so that we could all look as great as she does.

Thanks again for a great job.

all the best

You're more than welcome and you're right! It *IS* the English Rose and not the Marie Rose. My mistake. I momentarily slipped back to the time of Henry VIII! (Or was that the Marie Celeste?!) Anyway, I've fixed it now. I'm going to add the picture hopefully today and also, when we get any more info from Marie herself, I'll add it to the bio.

Hope you're well!

"Impressive, at least. Half of the referenced levels do not really mean anything to us, but it shows very impressive."

"Physics.. perhaps she can help redesign the hooks of the longliners to magnets for collecting manganese noodles. Or help calculating for the required current to a level just enough to scare sharks behind the fishing vessels."

"I do not see climbing or descending mountains on her list. Jumping 12000 feet down is a bit far, perhaps it would be better to get the noodles up."

Hi Y'all

Rie has not yet got into climbing & stuff but she did a bungee jump from Dunns River Falls - Jamaica in 1989 when she was just 20.

Nephew filtering out sunglasses - they help with the mystique of ones features! or so I am told by ones who know.

I like the fishing for Manganese noodles ideas.

By the way have you travellers in time got back to the future yet?

Happy travels

Well done Sam, you are pretty smart and that is for sure. You have done Rie proud the picture looks great on the bio. Thank you so much.

All the best
