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

There will be several 'trails' set up over the Easter weekend. Each trail will have its own page, listing all the clues for that trail.

Each page will also have an 'answers' thread - this is where you will be expected to post a link to the entry that answers each of the clues. The first person to do so will win an Easter egg.

You will also be told to collect different letters from each answer - when you've got them all, unscramble them to make a word or phrase. Everyone who emails me with this answer will also win an egg. The first persion may also get a special prize...

oh, so nothing until easter weekend?

That's the plan! It should be a real eggstravaganza!

How strange

I saw LOTR this week! Great film and the trailer for MiB2 looks good too - only thing is I have not seen MiB - do you recommend it?

yes

if you dont get round to seeing it then please read the plot summery i include below. if you want to watch it then ignore the rest of this post.











The MiB are a secret agency who deal with the control of immigration of legal and illegal aliens onto the planet earth. There are always intergalactic wars going on so various refugees use earth as a place to stay. Most of them are law abiding citizens and the MiB have no problem with them. During the film lots of aliens are leaving earth rather suddenly. This turns out to be because another war is going on. I forget the details but basically a very tiny galaxy is hidden on earth (actually on a cats collar) and the BUGS (not pretty) are hunting for it. The Guy who is looking after the galaxy gets assissinated by the Bugs but the cat escapes.

Meanwhile, Will Smith is a police detective and gets caught up in a Bug going about it's daily business. He follows it on foot (which is apparently very difficult to do)and this brings him to the attention of the MiB. K. (Tommy Lee Jones) offers to tell Will Smith what hwe has got himself into if he comes to the MiB facility. When he gets there there are a load of candiates waiting for testing to become MiB. They are all Navy Seals etc. The best of the best of the best. Allegedly. They have to do loads of silly tests and Will Smith gets through them by thinking outside the box and therefore he gets the job. All the other candidates get "flashy thinged" which erases their memory of the testing. Will SMith is told he has the choice of leaving or staying. If he leaves he gets "flashy thinged" too, iof he stays he looses all ties to the outside world. He agrees to stay and becomes J. A man with no finger prints and no existance.

J and K work together the save the tiny galaxy and on the way flashy thing most of the population of america. J. is bothered by this and uses the equipment to make people believe they can change their lives for the better. He is particularly upset by the use of the fashy thing on the coroner who is apparently flashy thinged on a regular basis.

J and K of course kill the bug and save the galaxy by the end of the film.

K is then flashy thinged because it is time for him to retire and he gets to go home to the woman he left behind and who he has been spying on via satellite for years.

J, gets a new partner........the coroner.



















did that make sense?
