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

I'm just bored - nothing interesting has happened around here (h2g2) for days - can I come work with you?

Yeah, of course you can... meet me in my laboratory and you better put these on... (passes you some safety goggle, a white lab-coat and some water-wings).

Do I need the water wings? I can swim. Perhaps a snorkle would be in order?

Well, I just didn't want you drowning in the middle of the experiment!

Er, what's the experiment? *nerves*

The one I was planning to do when there's nobody about and the facility is all prepared.

*nervous* Er, Okay! *Waits for everyone else to leave*

*evil cackle*

We just need to wait for the water to get up to the right temperature...

What's the "right" temperature?

Can I change my mind about the water wings?

Well, just so it's nice and steamy, but not so hot that it burns!

Nice and steamy sounds good - How about a little aromatherapy oil in that?

For someone who's *gone* you're doing a good impression of someone who's still here.

And besides, you're not allowed to go until you contribute to my Puppets page. I'll be darned if I can find anything on Spitting Image on the Net.

Any suggestions?

Actually zb I can't get a reaction from him on e-mail or on h2g2 so I think he has *gone*. Trying desperatley to find out more information as to where he has gone - I know he is busy at work! Try doing a search on Fluck and Law who I think were the creators of spitting image!

I hope the *GONE* bit isn't permanent. I've just accepted one of his masterpieces into the Five-a-Day list for the weekend. Hmmm.
