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

Because my life is going entierly too well right now. An entry I co-wrote just got approved, and my GPA is 4.00. Something will happen soon to correct this unbalance. I know it. I'm prepared to dodge fast....

O.k I give in. What is a GPA?

And besides, as any pessimist ought to tell you, it's the Baby Grand Pianos in the middle of daisy strewn fields on bright Summers days that you really have to worry about.

Or as minimally reported in the news this week - it got about two lines - a man and his dog were nearly killed when a block of toilet water shed from a plane - 'Block'. Did he say 'block' you are thinking? Yes, I did, you see it got frozen on the way down - landed at his feet in a park failing completely to squish him flat. Not nice. But neatly fertilizing the surrounding gardens for the rest of the year. Nice...Um...I think. God moves in mysterious ways, so they tell me.

GPA=Grade Point Average. For example: A,A,A,A- = 3.9 GPA, A,A,A,B+ =3.7 or 8. etc...

I think airplane waste droppage has happened before. The incident seems vaugely farmiliar....

Bye now

A,A,A,A...A? = 4.00 I am impressed.

Thank you.
But you see why the worry over falling anvils now?

Mmmm, quite.
