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

Wouldn't her uncle's brother's sister be her uncle's sister, too? And possibly her aunt, as well?

~Irving

i don't have an interesting ancestry












*sob* *sob*

Well, I'm sure if you traced your lineage back and sideways enough you'd find links to some pretty important people. After all, isn't most life on the planet interrelated?

~Irving

~big grin~... now you know why me is so strange at times Mr Washington...

It's good to be strange! Normal people scare me!

~Irving

You know me would not want to scare you Mr Washington... you are always a fav of mine... ~Greebo flutters her eyelashes~

kind of sounds like royalty from the 16th century- someone being their own aunt and their own brother at the same time.

How could you be both your own Aunt and your own Brother? That would require some major surgery...

~Irving

well yes, but that's all right. royalty can afford it.

Good point there.

~Irving

Unless their country is in debt. then all they have to do is raise taxes...

it is amazing to me how this conversation about the princess bride has evolved...

It's a common H2G2 phenomenon known as "topic drift". Some threads just can't hold a single topic, but drift all over the place. Often there are several conversations happening at once.

~Irving

i'm not complaining i just think it's funny.

I do not think that word means what you think it mean... ~grin~

Inconceivable that i should say a word that doesn't mean what i think it means! and that i should not know how to spell inconceivable! That's inconceivable! He didn't die?

sigh

sigh what?

~bigger sigh~

::still bigger sigh::

heap big sigh
