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

Didn't something like that happen a few years ago?

Google, (phui), reveals all..


Clearly, this was simply a case of being in the wrong place. You must stare directly at the sun only at Medjugorje in Bonia-Herzogovina


"From behind the glare of brightness came a variety of colors, blue, green and pink the most predominent. The colors seemed to be spinning clockwise around the sun. Almost immediately it was as though someone caused a total eclipse as the bright sun was blocked out and one was left viewing the spinning colors eminating from behind the eclipse with kind of a centrifical-force effect. Slowly at first, then speeding up."

Or be a Pope

"Having lifted the papers I had in my hand, I was struck by a phenomenon I had never seen before. The sun, which was fairly high, looked like a pale yellow opaque globe completely surrounded by a luminous halo, which nevertheless did not prevent me at all from staring attentively at the sun without the slightest discomfort. A very light cloud was before it. The opaque globe began moving outward, slowly turning over upon itself, and going from left to right and vice-versa. But within the globe very strong movements could be seen in all clarity and without interruption.".

silly buggers.... even school aged kids no not to look directly at the sun though, maybe, maybe its only the sinners who loose their sight looking at the sun... lettuce spry

i do believe that 2legs is right. only sinners lose their sight. So, everyone i know is in danger.

Idiots.

I've little sympathy.

If some fool had said 'I've seen the image of the blessed virgin in the middle lane of the highway'; would they have trekked out there on foot, avoiding - or failing to avoid - traffic, just to gain a glimpse?

*pause*

Yes, I expect some probably would have.

Idiots.

Is it a spectrum of basically identical self-destructive behavior? Sometimes they blind themselves, sometimes they give ten percent of their income to self-appointed church officials, sometimes they have themselves nailed to a cross to celebrate easter.

yeh, what was* the deal with that... why not just be content to eat choc eggs like the rest of us

It's part of the Christian 'War on Easter'. They strongly oppose attempts to make Easter into a pagan-influenced family-centred festival of chocolate for kids when it should really be about pain, suffering and imagining what it must be like to be nailed to a tree.

jesus walks into a hotel

slaps 3 nails on the desk

and says

"can you put me up for the night"

Taff wins the Internet.

I didnt know that was the prize, i would have tried harder.

how many does it take to screw in a lightbulb??
















2, if they're small enough.

I don't get it.

do i have to explain?

how many mice does it take to (insert euphemism for sex act, which also refers to the action of replacing a light bulb)?

2, if they're small enough to fit in there and move around sufficiently to perform said act.

Try an alternative meaning of 'screw' .

Although thinking about it, how did that slang come about? Does it imply some sort of twisting action?

i dont know, bouncy bit. It doesn't resemble anything i've ever done.

It's a very old term and the subject of much speculation. It's been used of copulation at least since the 1700s. Have you ever wondered why the spiral-threaded fastener is called a screw? Just to thicken the plot, have any of you ever seen a pig's penis?

i have not. is it anything like its tail?

try google images

Well. Well. Well.
