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

In the King James Bible the Hebrew for cakes of raisins was mistranslated as flagons of wine throughout.

The movie "Paint Your Wagon" was a success in 1970. In March 1970 the movie produced a UK number one song "Wandrin' Star" sung by Lee Marvin. This song was number one the week I was born.

Wagon Wheels have not significantly changed in size since the 1970s, fact.

I, on the other hand, have very significantly, changed shape since the 1970's.

A Google image search for "2 legs" produces an image of this rather talented pooch:

Another talented (if imaginary) pooch was Snoopy

"Snoopy was surely the most creative and multi-talented dog ever - even if he was only a figment of Charles Schulz's imagination.

The Walter Mitty of dogs, he imagined himself as an author, a World War I ace pilot, a 60s college radical (Joe Cool), a golf pro, a legal Beagle, leader of a troop of Beagle Scouts, the Easter beagle, a whirly-dog (kind of like a canine helicopter, using his floppy ears as a rotor) and crop duster, an ice skater and skateboarder, a bowler, surfer, psychiatrist, member of the French Foreign Legion, a hockey player, astronaut, tennis player, disco dancer, riverboat gambler - in all, over 100 different careers or disguises. Now and then, he even had a little singalong (or perhaps howlalong) with the rest of the Peanuts cast, or played sax."

Snoopy was Apollo 10's Lunar Module. We were one away from "Snoopy has Landed"

The islamic calandar is the most widely used Lunar calandar

A friend of mine didn't know until she was 28 that the sun is further away than the moon.

My 21-year old brother didn't know that the moon is made of cheese until I told him a few weeks ago.

Stilton was a serendipitous invention. Stilton is actually a cheddar.

Cheddar has caves. They are gorgeous. Walking in the landscape around there is also quite fascinating. Mind the big holes in the ground. I like cliffs.

Robyn likes Cliff Richard.

Cliff's middle name is Rodger.

Geng! How could you!



SMEAR!

I've upset Robyn by saying she liked Cliff Richard.

Being upset is not a state that women get into 'unreasonably'... Men just dont understand the reasons!

God put women here to make life more interesting for us.

God must hate men, or women, cos otherwise he'd have helped us out a little!

"God made us to be just like 'him', so if we are stupid, then God must be stupid, and maybe a little ugly on the side" That is, I think, fairly accurately but from memory, a quote from a Frank Zappa song.
