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

I think that it would be a good idea, if someone has time to spare and want to transform it into a wonderful present for all us , an entry about the bibliography suggested here. Also, a selection of links would be very interesting.

Am I already ?

Just a suggestion-fantasy-heartfelt-wish

Time for :

Hippo Birdy?

I can't recall ever having a party for a conversation

But any excuse is good enough!

A bit of suitable music for this thread ?

Highway to Hell
Starway to Heaven
...

stairway /typo/

"Highway to Hell
Stairway to Heaven"

As good calls go that was a spectacularly good call, but I reckon a bit of Blinded By Science should be in there too.

/me whacks Highway To Hell on.

Superstition anyone>

With God on our Side
Bat out of Hell
Not contemporary but....

I'd like to see that. But only on a copy, obviously.


So Atheism is one years old? All bow down and worship the great prophet Richard (peace be upon him).

And, yes, The Ancestor's Tale is super. The Selfish Gene's groundbreaking - although I hate the title - but TAT is a damned good read. Should be required reading for LDS evangelists.

>>I'd like to see that. But only on a copy, obviously.<<

There are a few fake torrents already. Caute.

I'm not sure I want to waste my time/bandwidth. Also, I can't stand Ben Stein's whiny voice/stupid face etc..

Ancestor's Tale is my favourite Dawkins science book. I shelled out for the nice glossy hardback version with the pretty pictures and diagrams - worth it if you can find a copy.

I bought the glossy hardback when it came out. It is the best book on the subejct since Darwin himself. A few months later at the local Indigo! there was a stack of trade paperbacks for ten bucks apiece so I bought some and have been giving them away.

" Every day as a child , i would pray for a new bicycle . But then i realized god didnt' work that way , so i stole a bicycle and prayed for forgiveness .
