This isn't really very good, doesn't meet many of the guidelines either. I would however, lke to see if I can fix it up and maybe get a few people to laugh with it.

finally!!!!!! I'll get right on some more facts for an update



PS maybe some more people in AWW would like to help out in the revised edition

PSS I'm still in favor of categorizing it by category, not researcher

Ooooh! This is FUN! The only comment on the facts that I have to make is 'lucky pigs'!

You are right, it isn't an EG entry, but the Post may like it. It needs tidying up a bit, and the very long number means that it takes up more room on the screen than there is actually room for, so I suggest getting rid of that one.

If you *really* want to improve it, it would be good to have the sources for some of those facts.

There are some typos, but not much that a spell-checker won't sort out.

Thanks for posting it. I enjoyed reading it.

Ben

if you have any facts, go to F91994?thread=227705

and we'll add them to the next update

I'll get andrew on the spelling

The only fact I do know is that I don't know any facts. Including that one!

That doesn't count

And anyway, if you could then mention one if you stumble upon it, we'd like it very much, although I have little or no creative influence on this.

Still insists on a system of categorizing by topic

hmmm.... i think so too. Though i won't change it unless someone (ahem) does the catagorization for me.

I wonder, since i have you on the list of reaserchers, can you edit it yourself?

i wish, I wish I wish I were still at starbucks

Sure, i'll do it... but you must refer to me as god of all categorization

it's sent

your dirty dirty deed is done

feels all dirty, probably because he hasn't taken a shower in years. is so clean

I know you're in London, or somewhere, but I suggest that you use the categorized system that I emailed to you... when you get back

I'm not in London 'till tuesday.

*is still wondering about the question he asked*
*wonders*

You never ever tell me these things. Two days ago, I overhear you telling someone else that you were going to London, if I hadn't heard that, perhaps we'd have to re-elect the I kind of liked him

The was quite cool.
Someone's gotta put a link to the new entry sometime or something.

I HATE THE kill

will eat like a

ok.....

I have asked multiple times....

I am beginning to be angered at your rigid uninformativeness.

Please tell me:
Can you, as co-researcher, edit the entry?

No, only you can, the person that originally wrote the entry. That's what makes collaborative writing workshop such a downer.

dammit...

that means that now i have to put the new text into GuideML
not particularly hard, merely tedium to the point of insanity.

Use the following link to check the GML of the existing entry: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/test964686

Hi there ben

Andu, I could help with the GuideML if you want

no that's alright, it's merely copy, paste, copy, paste, paste, paste.... etc.

I shall perform said work now.

(is quite akin to and , because it's a cotton )
