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

Hi there! I'm androyd one of the Assistant Community Editors who have volunteered to help new members. Welcome to the largest collaborative writing project er...anywhere. Take a look at some guide entries and see if you can add to the collection. If you feel there is a subject you can write about try doing a search first to see what already exists. I recommend you visit here before you get going:

These are new ventures designed to encourage writing , you might like to check them out:

Good to have you along...enjoy!

Well, after a long nap, the keyboard is wet from drool and the left side of my face looks like a keyboard. I quickly typed up a report on slugs (actually, i wrote it about a year ago). Read it, if you feel compelled to. It's riveting.
