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

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

No wonder people don't read journals - what sort of psycho would want to talk about dead Cthulhu dreaming in his house at R'lyeh?

Umm... A psycho like me? Or you perhaps?

Now whatever would give you that idea.....

Umm... I don't know actually... It must be the flu that causes that sort of weird thoughts...

Really? So just how many years have you had this flu for, anyway...

This - flu? Umm... Oh, right, yeah, "flu"... It's just a flu... There's nothing else wrong with me... And my brain... Just a flu... Umm... So let me count... Hmm... Probably about all my life... Just a wild guess...

That's amazing - that's exactly how long I've had my *cough* 'flu' for, too. Do you think it's some kind of interstellar galactical conspiracy, cause that's the only explanation I can think of......

Shhhh! Not that loud!! Someone might hear you...

Of course, when I said 'interstellar galactical conspiracy', I was referring to the......uh....computer game! Yes, that's right - all us computer nerds love computer games. No actual conspiracy. Ha Ha! What a silly idea...

*phew*

Oh yeah, -that- computer game...


So do you know the code?

Yes, fine game, hey what!


Their code or our code?


HTML, machine language, assembler. Ha Ha!

Aren't they and us the same thing?

I don't know, there are so many 'theys' that it's hard to keep track of them any more. Trust a few, fear the rest?

Well, I'm pretty sure 'they' and 'we' are the same thing - although 'they' shouldn't be confused with 'them' - and of course 'we' and 'them' are completely two different things... Without even mentioning 'them' of even 'them' who have nothing to do with 'them' and even less with 'us'... Except probably the frogs...

sorry, can't stay. I've just been called into high level negotiations with 'them', who deny all knowledge of frogs whatsoever, though I hadn't brought it up, so it was just a matter of looking uncomfortable until this particular 'them' released what had been said. If you ask me, I think 'them' is about to break. This could be our big chance!

Let's kill them all!!

Ha Ha HA! Fine joke that, hey what!

I was trying to surprise them. I hope you have a back up plan....

Whoops, I forgot to whisper... Well... A back-up plan... Umm... Nope, don't have one...

Oh well, there's nothing for it, I guess. 1, 2, 3 - CHARGE!!!!!
