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

in my opinion the most enlighting part of my page is the spinning blue poop, slowly. oh and by the way Ac-1D and Spartus the monkeys are not to take you can only visit. im not giving away any jammy doughnuts either. The doughnuts are mine all mine! (maniacal laugh)

I've allways wondered about the relative speeds of spinning blue poo...

well now you know

I'm glad I've cleared that up

Not giving away any doughnuts, well I've got plenty to go round

I just bought a dozen myself this morning. *pauses* Mmmm, doughnut.

Uh, excuse me, just had a thought.

if it is what i think you thought then i think your thought was quiet silly, don't you think?

What, that that was a good time to have a doughnut? I don't think that's silly at all.

Hi...I've read it too...(followed you from Urban Legends).
Now will someone please tell me (in terms that a complete numpty will understand) how to make the pretty smileys?

I too... have read it!

Saw Kurt Vonnegut speak not long ago (and DNA less long ago). He was amazing. I'm sure everyone in the audience was mentally sliding towards the stage (Shakespearean stage at Stratford, Ont.) and trying to climb onto his lap.

Regarding long-windedness:

Words are at their best when they convey something more than information. The sparkle of DNA's writing (in my opinion) is that he, like Oscar Wilde, turns words into toys. I am only a gardener. My education is in the soil and the odd phrase scratched on an outhouse wall. But when someone has the wit to turn words into balloons. I can't get enough of them.

Did you smoke dope behind the bike sheds?? If you didn't then that's what you missed. Otherwise, nope.

Nice one JTG, just as long as they aren't full of hot air eh?

AG

there is a difference between being longwinded and boring and longwinded and witty. i have experienced both first hand.

forgot to put this in my last post: i am so jealous of John the gardener. he got hear both dna and k. vonnegut speak. he can die happy now in my opinion. (ok i may be exaggerating just a bit)_but not that much!

Also went to see James Burke ("Connections") courtesy of PBS. Unfortunately, it was in the winter; and, after working outside all day, I fell asleep almost as soon as I sat down.

I read it...and then some. Teenagers... now there's a discussion that could get longer than "42"! By the by, the graphics were great! How do you get the "blue poop" to spin that way?

oh um see you later guys. thanks for the donuts you wouldn't let us have, Kat.
