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

In what circumstances might you have to go to Hell and stick your arm in a bucket of blood?

Sounds like a Masonic initiation ceremony to me...

No, this is Janice's next task in "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here"

In a strange, religion-themed abattoir?

Is it something involved in the manufacture of black pudding?

Yes, there's a town called Hell in the USA isn't there?

So, if you were making black pudding (or blood sausage as they call it there) in Hell, USA, then those be the circumstances

Is there a town called Hell in one of the United States (one of the Dakotas perhaps) where it gets very cold? And blood loses heat relatively slowly (again a guess) so you'd put your hand in some blood in a desperate attempt to warm them up.

Is it one of the exams you have to pass before you can become a farming vet?

Great replies, but nowhere near, unfortunately.

Keep 'em coming - lots of bonus points there.

Is it to retrieve the broken heart of someone you dumped, so you can enter the Pearly Gates?

After losing a bet on a Saturday night after one to many s?

Or is that just me?

Carrie's Prom night.

A bucket? That's quite specific... I'd have thought survival situations would generally not include having a handy bucket..

Oh, ok:

If you remove your wedding ring in order to commit adultery, a deamon could steal your ring and put it in a bucket of blood, and then take you to Hell (on a quick visit) and make you put your hand into the bucket of blood in order to retrieve your ring in an effort to put you off sinning against you (presumeably) innocent and faithful wife?

Is this where the script for the next Pirates of the Caribbean film is being hidden?

Ooh aarrr..

Oh! Pirate's Day has gone..

To be quite honest, I'd do this to get hold of a Nintendo Wii (which I've promised my son for Christmas and now can't get hold of one)

GB is the closest so far (post 10). It's another part of the body...

Is that where Satan keeps his detachable penis set?

Quick! Somebody catch the tone of this thread, it's getting away!

Detachable penis set, psycorp, well I never!

Galaxy babe, are you in the UK?

Erm, retrieving the brain? Egyptian?
