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

hello hello. i have just jumped onto this htwo-gtwo malarkey. purely for the sake of guile and deception, what is your square root?

The sake of guile and deception, ay? I'd ask what you were being deceptive about, but you'd probably lie. And I, being a simple soul, would probably believe you. Then where would we be? We'd be exactly where we are now -- and wouldn't that just ruin your day?

I read your submission on Chocolate Breaks, and being a Tesco shopper I will be sure to seek them out when next I am in the biscuit aisle buying unflavoured rice cakes with a forlorn expression on my face. I have found the phenomenon of extra chocolate to occur on KitKats also. I believe it happens when the "row" of biscuits comes to an end, or when a biscuit breaks in the machine before it is coated. Though you are most fortunate to have found one composed solely of chocolate.

-- David, who does these signature lines sometimes and sometimes doesn't.

You're right about my lying. I do tend to overindulge in it. Purely for entertainment's sake you understand. And my own underhand dealings.

I think your explanation of how extra chocolate come to be on the end is indeed likely. My mind is wandering onto the subject of a chocolate biscuit factory with small, impoverish starving slave-children who nibble off the biscuit on the end because they have nothing else to eat. If only mr Tesco knew about that.

Incidentally, let me know of your experiences with chocolate breaks. i'd be interested to know how you find them, either way.
