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

Never say never.

And you don't know anything about my dreams. People always try to 'interpret' other people's dreams. You don't know because you aren't there.

I read today today about a man in the 1920s who was in a coma for a whole year. He later wrote a book about it - claimed he was inside the body of somebody 2000 years into the future. (The book's online, in English and in German. There's a Greek version, too.)

After all my life so far, I can't honestly still work ME out

SO! There's no chance that a "Sigmund Freud" type person can either
and I'd put money on that, if I had some

I want to lose weight
But at 10.28pm - my body says food before kip

I'm a sucker of mind over matter

be safe and well both ok

g'ud night for now

One thing is sure: I've got to go and get my dinner fixed.

So you have a good night!

Not in tonight, or tomorrow - due to holiday stuff. Have a good time if you're playing Civ VI, and stay warm!

andCiv' 6 - plus "angry birds"

But! Are you ? going to "get hit" ? with the heavy snowfall etc, I've "seen" on our bbc news, that is due to hit your east coast area's ?

No - we had light snow. It turned to rain.

Not in again. I have to make something with the turkey leftovers, and it's time-dependent.

Still -ing intermittently, but nothing to write about, just a dusting.

Not like this one! I put it up this week, but it's from a couple of years ago:

"I have to make something with the turkey leftovers" and

bloody hell! have those birds left corn etc lying around ? aren't they that hungry ?

(sorry! couldn't resist)

Vid' = If only some "humans" could act as animals There would be less fighting and wars

Stature between species and leave it at that! leads to happy medium

I remember that day - we were watching and laughing.

's world domination on hold again - No big win as yet.
But! I know I'm going to hit a biggie this century but can't predict in what year or decade

Maybe 2050?

It is COLD here. My computer says it's 21F - -6C - and light snow.

I'll believe the computer. I'm not going outside to check.

2050!!!!

I'll get a letter from King Charles then! For hitting 100 yrs old = bloody whoopee! I can't see THAT bringing me any money

cold/frost etc etc - just make sure your drive etc around your house is saltedso NO slipping etc

So far, everything's clear, no problem. I think the real snow may come next weekend.

More money than sense
"I" could live (and family for life on far less than he spent on a bloody banana!!!! (fuming)

---

A Chinese-born cryptocurrency entrepreneur has followed through on his promise to eat the banana from a $6.2m (£4.9m) artwork he bought last week.

Justin Sun outbid six others to claim Maurizio Cattelan's infamous 2019 work Comedian - a banana duct-taped to a wall - at Sotheby's auction house in New York.

He ate the fruit during a news conference in Hong Kong where he used the moment to draw parallels between the artwork and cryptocurrency.

The banana is regularly replaced before exhibitions, with Mr Sun buying the right to display the installation along with a guide on how to replace the fruit.

It has been eaten twice before - first by a performance artist in 2019 and again by a South Korean student in 2023 - but neither paid any money to do so, let alone $6.2m.

"Eating it at a press conference can also become a part of the artwork's history," Mr Sun said.

"It's much better than other bananas," he added.

The 34-year-old said he was intrigued by the work, admitting he had "dumb questions" about whether the banana rotted.

The New York Times reported a fresh banana was bought for 35 cents on the day of last week's auction, before becoming possibly one of the most expensive fruits in the world.

Each attendee at the event on Friday was given a banana and a roll of duct tape as a souvenir.

"Everyone has a banana to eat," Mr Sun said.

Oh, lord. That's not only stupid - it's an insult to every suffering person in the world.

It's an insult to every LIVING THING on this planet.

It's an insult to creation itself.

He and his bananas can go to hell.

He's got 6 million dollars to throw around. People all over the planet are starving, sick, in need of every possible thing he could spend money on. And he does THIS to make himself feel important.

We really need to push the reset button on this 'civilisation'.

YOUR thoughts are my thoughts on this!

My words would be "yiked" in seconds if I put them here...

and the worst thing is>grr> he'll make MORE money from it because of stupid people paying to go see it!!!!

Yes, probably. I saw a picture of the thing on social media - but I didn't know what it was. I thought it was some minor joke somebody made.

In better news, I made a cake today. So we have cake and ice cream for dessert. Also, we finished all the turkey leftovers, but we have a little cornbread dressing and gravy for supper. To go with a beef stew I made the other night.
