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

I have just heard on the radio, the Pope has received the Last Rites. I am assuming that it will not be long now. Prince Rainier of Monaco is also said to be near death. So, maybe the "celebrities" dying in threes thing does have validity?

On the radio early this morning, we heard that Terri Schiavo had died. Everyone knows how I feel about that, and so I'll say only, that her suffering is over (though that of her family still continues.)

Here we have sunshine, still, which is so good, and just the right amount of rain to keep the grass lovely and green.

Hi Apple

I shall not grieve for Pope John Paul. His leadership has set back the growth of christianity by 500 years. Let us pray that a more enlightened man is chosen to succeed him. If it is one of his advisers then thousands, if not millions, may die to satisfy their fanatical adherence to dogma.

As for Prince Rainier, well he beloved of his people and has ruled them well. He is a man of honour but his time is nigh and soon he shall be reunited with his loving Grace.

Terry Schiavo died after fifteen years of torment. I will not argue if it was right to let her go or not, though my choice in the same situation would be to go sooner and let my family get on with their lives.

Blessings,

Och, I cannae agree with you about the Pope, or Terri Schiavo, but I'll agree with you about Prince Rainier. Jim, as I've said, is interested because of Formula One - the obsession.

Napisan will get bloodstains out of his T shirt (he and a friend were mugged in the street on their way to a movie on Monday, and Jin Koo got his face smashed, and his blood all over Jim's shirt.)

It was all so they could attempt to nick Jin Koo's mobile phone -
