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

You know, it _could_ be the same cat, if its future self traveled back in time to teach humans to build time machines. I am personally of the opinion that cats can travel through time at will, seeing as they are only subject to the other laws of physics when they feel like it.

hmmm....that is an interestin thought. i think the cat should b brought in 4 more investigation.
now wheres that cat basket.......

Erm,, so long as they don't annoy or hurt her, but fuel can still be a problem..

i assure you the cat will not b permenantly damaged

fuel, hmm.... how about more ?

Ale, good, sits well I think, rather, mostly, mainly with, most often, not exclusivily, but currently; Vodka; Cheers
Gland to hear the cat will be fine, and Oh, what happens if the cat or cats, dependin meet, or indeed meets?

if the cats meet we will b in deep shi......trouble becase they are obviously so much smarter than us and therefore we had best beware incase they decide to gang up on us!
also methinks that u has had a wee bit too much 2 drink.. c'mon, share it around!

Yeah, I rather thought it could be a nasty if they meet.
What do you mean I have had too much to drink, I mean, me, as if, well, depends what constitutes too much, I'me takin it easy, tonight, and may drop off with the cat in a min once I've dryed my hair.

I know you (.)
You're everywhere in this bloody web thingy, it's all your fault, you and your infernal time machine.

Yes you are responsible for everything from the sinking of the Titanic to Eastenders.
But apart from that.....
We all have the ability to make our own time machine, as is shown by the many varied replies this thread has provoved.
Over the years my personal time machine has been fuelled by many of the more common fuels, as mentioned by others, and some I can't mention for legal reasons.
The only time that I can relate that also involved teleportation, I've been told about it, I've no memory of it at all, was one night I was fuelling up on Glayva's, or one of those Scotch and something sweet drinks, and I had a time travel jump of about 4 hours and simultaneously a spacial jump of about 4 miles.
On second I was standing at a bar < discontinuity > I was walking along a footpath near my home, in mid stride ,mind you.
Anyway just thought I'd jump in here.

bye....

Hello,
yes, all my fault,
Bye..

I have no cat- but a black dog. Now I read earlier that someone thought black coffee might be the key to traveling backward in time - if true, what would coffee w/Kalua do - my dog likes hers cold.

i have a black dog 2, but she doesnt drink coffee. she is hyper enough without the caffine fix thank you!

btw- no idea bout the coffee w/Kalua, suggest further testing b carried out

Hi Fenchurch, never mind all your other identities......apart from...are you saying that you are the researcher known only as . (dot) ?
Not that it matters, but you shouldn't accept responsibilty for.....well, why not, this has been a very good and funny thread...
can we keep it going for some more time?
Just putting some Dark Rum and coke into the biological component......
Hope you're enjoying your Saturday night....

"THE OTHER OMYLOUSE"
Still trying to escape the grip of this darned h2g2 thing.
Nice to meet under another thread though...

bye.....

Just passing and popped in to see what's new.
The black cat must be stuck in a temporal anomaly as it hasn't been mentioned lately.
A couple of black dogs seem to have come in, and sad to relate, I also have a black dog, but she seems immune to the time travel phenomenon. I also have a half of a wolf and a rottweiller puppy. That's 3 dogs in total, not a half wolf/ half rottweiller.
It's funny that I don't see many cats about, isn't it.
My supply of dark rum time travel fuel has run out, so I am moving on to cider fuel, I hope to jump about 5 hours into tomorrow morning. This cider is 7.5% so it's hard to get the quantity right.

bye and save me some paracetamol.

have fun experimenting wiv the quantities of cider needed 4 time travel then. i wish u the best of luck! heehee!

mayb time travel changes the anthropometric field as well? so the cats have appeared to changed into dogs?

I have been fueling my recliner with cheap rotgut ( beer isn't quite compatible with the tilting interface ). My cat is hairy and the color of a chewed Snickers candy bar. I think she is getting older because no matter how hard I try, I still beleive that Time is real my time machine still only goes forward at a very slow pace. The government of early earth has embedded its idea of time on us to control us. Because if everyone knew that time was really not real noone would age and neither would the cat. I have to go for now my machine is stopping the cat has gotten tangled in the mechanism again

Wow!
Anthropometric?
That's a good one.
It's o.k., I'll look it up myself.
bye...

OK you lot I see I need to set things straight. Firstly, the almighty Beer can not power time as time has been happening since long before Beer was invented. Also, although we have no strong proof, it is likely that time has been happening for a long time before humans evolved, thus arguing that we did not "invent" time. And orange juice isn't the opposite of Beer as they are both liquid. An actual orange is more like it. I think. I also have a black cat but I haven't seen it smoking. It does however only have three legs. My own time machine in in the shape of a pencil and it actually writes, but so far can only travel through time at a rate of one second for every second (also only forwards in time). Maybe Beer wouldn't fuel it, but may enhance it's ability to time travel....

I think I have a way of reducing the price of fuel.
we separatly kidnap all the major political party leaders, and promise that if they don't reduce the price of fuel when they are elected, we will go back in time and throw eggs at them. They will be forced to retaliate violently; thus ruining their career, and chance of actually being elected!

good idea!

i think first i oughta go forwards in time to an age when i can legally drink/vote first tho!

Don't be too hasty about skipping forward in time, unless of course you can skip back again - but then you might have trouble explaining why you need paracetemol and they won't beleive you anyway so it would have - will haven - been a waste of time hopping forwards and backwards.

Interesting phenomenon here.
Younger people want to go forward in time.
Older people want to go backwards.
Fuel induced backwards-in-time-travel is easy. The state known as deja-vu is the obvious proof of this.Just drink enough and convince yourself that you went backwards. Easy isn't it (and fun).
Obviously other people may claim that you didn't go backwards in time but just got drunk and fell asleep. This is easily solved by telling people that they all must have been drunk and went forward in time without knowing it and that you are the living proof that it happened.
While they are figuring out the logic of that, and how they can disprove it, you can nip down to the pub and start fuelling up for the backwards-in-time-trip.

If you are really clever you will start the above mentioned discussion in the pub which will save physical time and effort when refuelling.
