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

On the other hand, if there are mites that can eat quarks, then they should be told about it round at the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Instead of digging a tunnel 27 kilometres in circumference, they could have bought 500 grammes of cheese.

Sorry I missed this one - great QI

It would make a brilliant Edited Guide Entry, too

Nice one

Points for this one will be updated tomorrow.

OK, points for this one are as follows:

Taff - for naming a famous military commander being the subject of the statue. Soooo obvious and wrong. The fact that it was a cheesy pun doesn't let you off the hook.

Bob Stafford: +3 for mites

InfiniteImp - you've no idea how much I'd love to reward you for the mousetrap idea, but I'd be breaking the rules.

Toy Box: you definitely get +6 for being QI. Suddenly Milbenkaese didn't sound so bad after I read your contribution.

Thanks folks!
