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

I wonder what a smiley would look like

to get the researchers we would have to supply a huge vat of brine for them to swim in.

Would a badger glow if it were pickled? I wonder, with all the money, we could buy an island, and name it 'h2G2 island', or something, and have perpetual H2G2ers there partying with high speed internet connections and lots of glowing pickles, and badgers, and hoovers, and weird stuff in paper bags and things

Ok.. it's been mentioned that the glowing pickles tend to stink a bit... Hmmm... wonder if we placed them in jars if that would keep the stench down.... Has anyone tasted a pickle after glowing?.. (apres glow, afterglow?)

Perhaps we should put them in glass tubes; like strip lights

if we're going to start talking saatchi, i think this thread needs to be retransplanted to b & b...

Viva la naked glowing pickle!

saatchi???

see post 39

a pickle post glow would be very dry and probably taste a bit cooked.

I have heard that you can also cook hotdogs in the way that you make a pickle glow. they wouldn't glow when you cook them since there is no salt but you can still cook them in that fashion so I hear. I have never tried it myself though. I don't like

on the contrary there is a good deal of salt in hot dogs, and i imagine a surprising array of chemicals which might provide a very interesting subject for an iridiometry study.

Iridioculinariometry???

hmmm.... maybe a would glow then

I wonder what color it would turn

I would be interested to find out

I would think that it wouldn't glow, or if it did, very faintly. It's not translucent like a pickle. Now a pickled pearl onion might.

Maybe that jelly that surrounds spam... I wonder if it has enough salt in it.

What other translucent salty foods are there?

pickled eggs?

that would smell really really awful though

The glowing pickle sat
aloft by the sink
a current bestowing 'glowness'
its glowness bestowing light
the pickle sat and glowed
as the smell intensity did rise
the end surely must be
the pickles sad demise

What a life for a pickle
120 volts to make it glow
not eaten in a sandwich
not for that long even to glow

the glowing pickle lament
the sadness of light so brief
onlookers sadness expounded
reflecting their glowing pickle grief

a glowing pickle
seems a good deal less smelly
than the golden arches

Haiku Pickle

Oh, pickle glowing,
One and twenty volts do flow.
What a horrid smell.

Do I detect the presence of the Great Prophet at post 38

I think you just detect the presence of 2legs... It's probably that thong.

Electrolysed pickles pong
And green glowing gherkins seem wrong
The hint of was strong
Alas gone for a thong
...
