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

One of the thoughts that popped into my head this morning while laying in bed thinking about getting up was 'How long have William and Kate been married now? Isn't about time she was up the duff and producing an heir?'. And lo, she is

I have nothing to add, except that I'm not sure what's more weird, you being weirdly correct with your timing, or the fact you were idly wondering that at all!

It must mean he's psychic. Let's get him booked on the daytime talk shows right now. I'm sure Doctors Phil and Oz will be glad to have him on. Oh... and he can also get a series on the Learning and History channels. Have you spoken with aliens yet?

There was a fairly unsubtle hint dropped when they visited a children's hospital last week, and were unusually receptive of presents of babygrows.

"laying in bed" That really would be weird.

It'll be Kate's job soon enough, though.

Spoken with aliens? No. Oh, wait, yes. All the time!!!

Will that get my fee increased?

Heh... I just saw the following SMS text exchange.


Wife: "Guess who's pregnant?!?
Husband: "Oh Jesus no"
Wife: "Prince William and Kate are having a baby!"
Husband: "You have no idea how happy I am for them now"

Oh... wait... small correction. Not husband and wife and the female had DNA following her name. In this context I have to assume that stands for Do Not Answer. So...

Incidentally, if you think the press coverage is stupid now (take a look at the video http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20593753 ), just wait until the thing's born

One the plus side, nine months is a very long time in media terms. I just hope they can give her some peace to grow the sprog. Look what the stress of producing an heir has done to the Japanese Empress.

Sorry, Crown Princess, wrong generation.

Interesting that she should feel under pressure to produce a male heir when it's a known fact now that the sex of the child is determined by the male gamete, not the female. We're long past the days when a certain British monarch was displeased and frustrated with his wives for not producing a son.

'an every one was an 'enry

And it's not like a female ruler is unheard of

True. But a female bishop in the very church whose head (and defender of the faith) is currently female? Perish the thought!

I wish them well,hope the baby is healthy, yada yada. Same things I wish for any couple expecting a child. But what really deserves media attention is Gosho's prediction. BG, I like the plan to call Dr. Oz.
