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

Hello again,

I had to write a quick entry about my favourite colour. Purple has no edited guide entry yet but many fans listed on the guide. When people are obessed by a colour, that colour is often purple, and I wonder if any of you have any idea why that might be?

A brief history of purple, A444700.

love jenny

ps I submitted this page to the guide twice. A bit daft really, so can my mistake be rectified?

Hi Jenny. Liked the article. I quite like purple too, in fact I have a slight colour-blindness that makes me see a shade of purple when other people see a shade of blue.

Something you might consider putting in: why is the Purple Heart purple?

XD

You've got nothing on purple being a colour of sexual frustration... huge oversight...

Great entry, nice and detailed

is it really supposed to be a colour of sexual frustration?

I had no idea.

Perhaps this a topic you would be more suited to cover?

love and kisses

from an unfrustrated purple person.

Allegedly so. Goes with peeling labels off bottles and suchlike.

But that's exhausted my store of information on the subject, I'm afraid.

Love from a dark blue person.

A most enjoyable read.

Perhaps there's a link between sexual frustration and bars of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, also purple?

I don't know if you should let the "purple haze" reference pass without mentioning Jimi Hendrix (especially as there's an article on him, http://www.h2g2.com/A248744 - the editors love bits that link the Guide together)

Thanks for all the feedback,

I hope that this weekend I will get chance to tidy up the entry on purple and the Wigan entry, and then hopefully they can both go into the guide.

I'm a very busy purple bunny at the moment, and my little cotton tail is bouncing around in a frantic state.

Much love to everybody ever,

Jenny
