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

And a Shortland Street fan - but we don't get it over here any more

Hi - welcome to h2g2, *the* unconventional guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. I am Abi - the italics mean that I am a member
of the in house editorial team. I am your Deputy Community Editor - any problems just shout. That is what I am here for. Fluffy kinda job
isn't it?

So how are you fitting in? Massive place isn't it?

You got that right! It's a huge place. But haven't had any problems so far.
I'll try to add some guide entries in the near future. I can't think of anything to write about at the moment, but hopefully that will change.
Thanks for the welcome!

Me too!

And I was just welcomed by Abi... which is how I arrived here.

Is h2g2 an Aquarian thing? Maybe we ought to capture researchers dob details and do a zodiacal analysis... ?

Maybe there are mostly Pisces, on account of all the Babel s.

Not that I necessarily believe in astrology... but I'm too much of a rationalist to dismiss it out of hand!

It would actually be quite interesting to see which star sign came up tops.

Of course Aquarians are best.

I beg to differ, maybe because I'm Sagittarian myself.

Hi there, Hugamari - greetings from the ten dimensional sanctity of hyperspace, and from a fellow nerd, too. Yup, I'm a nerd as well, though I'm not as much into computer programming as I am into relativity and quantum physics. And just like you, I don't like sports either, especially cricket - that's right, an Indian who doesn't like cricket. What the hell, we don't have much of a team anyway, especially after that match fixing racket.

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it here - there are a lot of fellow nerds around. Anyway, gotta go...hyperspace beckons. (Poof!)

Of course, DNA was born on 11 March, so he is, indeed, a Pisces.

Hi there

I'm pretty sure with 50000 registered researchers & 365 days in a year you really ought to find an even spread throughout all the starsigns... but then again, you'll probably find more ppl for whichever July 20th's starsign is, or something.. whichever the most popular times of years are to have babies...

*Joanna thinks at this point she should stop rambling, & suggest that Hugamari reads through the guide for inspiration on entries...*

Thanks for the welcomes people .

Tatterdemalion, your approach to astrology is typical for Aquarians. Us Aquarians keep open minds about things we don't necessarily believe in (this may also be why I'm an agnostic rather than an atheist). Aquarians often claim not to believe in astrology, but are quite interested in what astrologers have to say.

Not that I'm into that astrology rubbish or anything .

Interesting business, this. Everyone goes around saying that they're not exactly believers in astrology, but are just keeping open minds and all that. So here's my contribution:

It's a load of hogwash!

Oh, by the way, I'd recommend Contact too - definitely contributed to my idea of the "numinous".

Omicron... That's obviously 'cos you're Sagittarian!

Duhhhh...This might sound stupid, but how does that change things, eh Tatterdemalion?
