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

I have written this as the ideal companion entry to the edited entry on boredom http://www.h2g2.com/A99524

Short and to the point!

~A~

BTW Tedium is at http://www.h2g2.com/A452512

*It's rather tedious getting there without the link*

No comments as yet - perhaps everyone just fell asleep?

Part of me wants to suggest you post this as an addendum to the entry on boredom - the fashion seems to be away from short entries such as these, and towards longer stuff - but it might be useful when the boredom entry is next updated - which should make it quite a lot longer.

*is* there anything else you could add?

I could... but it would be rather tedious.

~A~

aaaaahhhhhhh *bonk*

I'm sorry but two articles on boredom?

why? have you nothing better to do?
really?

I have to agree with Lucinda and Prez. You should add it to the boredom entry.
Elly

I think that, in light of it's being here too long and untouched, this entry should go to the Bin.

Lady Elly, Scout.

*sobs*

I *sniff* see...

* looks at own monster Entry on Haskell *

* looks at Entry on Tedium *

I think I've provided an example of it... here, have a hanky.

*bfawmph* *wipe*

Thanks MaW.

I recommend a curry!

~A~

Hmm... not really appropriate just after dinner...

Just a thought...

I suspect curry could be more addictive than chocolate.

~A~

It's got less of an anti-depressant effect as well. Maybe I should just try eating more chocolate?

I'm sure chocolate actually has the opposite effect.

If you find something that works, let me know too, cause I'm feeling pretty low myself right now.

~A~

Something with plenty of sugar in it... a good session of Tai Chi... getting one's Haskell coursework functioning correctly... all very good for relieving down-in-the-dumps-ness, and indeed putting an end to tedium.

Or a day out in glorious sunshine.

~A~

When I think about it, and I try not to, I think of tedium as being the active class and boredom being the passive class. Both, of course, are sub-classes of ennui which, of course, comes to us from the French. The Germans also have a word for it, but I really don't care at this point.

I have to agree, the two articles should become one article. The question is, who could stay awake through the marriage ceremony?

Put it in the guide but add a loop that makes you wait 15 minutes before it pops up on the screen.

Is this a trend to turn the guide into a dictionary?
