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

Really confusing

What happens if Deep Thought got it wrong?
Maybe he/she/it had a bad hair day or something and all our constenation (if that word exists) is for nothing.

bad hair day
do you mean like the fluffy bunny who washed his thing and couldnt do a hare with it

I think you were just missing an r.
Would Hare restorer help the situation.

Is a girl with big hair a fluffy chick?

No its a chick a la boufant

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, rats and mice, I have made a stupendous discovery. Unshaken tomato ketchup flows out of the bottle at 0.28mph which amazingly is 1 150th of 42

the number of teacups an average person should drink every week to make
him/her:
healthy (very good for your metabolism),
wealthy (you feel very posh)
and wise (stimulates the brain waves).

42 glasses of beer makes you brave, loud, wise and usually someone else cleans the glasses.

Where as 42 gin and tonics makes you realise that you have to find a toilet sometime soon or there is going to be a large puddle under the table.
I WONDER IF THAT PUDDLE WOULD BE 42 CUBIC milliLITRES

I WONDER IF THAT PUDDLE WOULD BE 42 CUBIC milliLITRES, Having some trouble with my CAps LOCk

Builds picket fence around puddle in case children drown in it. Wow, 10 pickets, 2 supports, 42 nails.

ok well all i want to know is how one gains those little fish things??

oh and while im here -does anyone know where i introduced myself as THE Ladybird? I just cant quite find it...

......the number of computers you buy before you realise that you are just buying the latest model because its got more (insert technical word) or can
(insert technical description) faster than the one you have just paid off. And as you contemplate buying your 43rd you realise that it will always be a large beige paper weight that ties up the phone line.et

Which reminds me. The programme Desert Island Discs made its debut on British radio in 1942. This was before I was born but sub-consiously I have great memories of the initial programme

Tell me, what were the songs that were played on that day. Could have been the Lulluby of Broadway with 42 beats to the minute.

With backing by Jimmy Millars 42 piece big band

If you added up all the strings in the string section, there were 42. Point!

Is this thing ever going to end? Face it, We're working on a problem which has no solution. Any "Ultimate Question" would be purely speculative, and would have no bering on reality. The computer was destroyed before the question was formulated. We have the Vogons to thank for this mess, and a very fine mess it is, I must say! Since there seems to be no resolution to this delima, I suggest we have a good cup of tea and consider the importance of cotton balls in asprin bottles. Seems a much more pressing bit of information, and certainly would take less time to load than this behemouth!(By the by, I actually thought 42 was the number of cups of tea you "Brits" drink in a day)

An average Brit might, but I am far from average, except my perchance for beer.
As for cotton balls, I think they put those in the bottles so that after you have taking your aspirin, you can stuff the cotton ball into a Gnu's left nostril thus preventing him from sneezing.
This could be the answer to all of Gnudoms problems. They do not call me Obscure for nothing.
