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

Garius? What are you the answer to, exactly?

And UH, in response to what you said over in the Illusion Hall forum, I don't mean to be crude, but... Sherlock Holmes could kick Batman's caped butt any day.

Cough, cough, well, stylistically *could* mean doing things in a stylistic way i.e. adapting things to your own style. ? Ho hum, well I'm glad everyone's happy(er)

Sherlock Holmes would never be beligerent. He was always too doped up for that.

On my home page you can find out what I am the answer to

Or, to save you the trouble, I'll tell you here. I am the answer to life, the universe and everything. And will be for the next year or so. You see, I just had a birthday and during the next year, I will be 42.

Really?!?

I'm just about to have a birthday, and I'll be seventeen... I had you placed as around twenty!

Guess I'm young for my age And actually, I think the majority of h2g2ites are younger than 20, so it wasn't a bad guess. Still, there are lots of us venerable ones on h2g2, too. For instance, Lil and Witty are both, um, older than 20 , but the rest of the guests at Lord Reflection's are younger, I think (I'm not positive about a few of them, but I'm pretty sure).

I'm pretty sure im the youngest there. UM what about Affi? you are friends irl, aren't you?

No one is friends with Affy IRL -- he refuses to state his real name or what state he lives in to anyone online. As to Sherlock being drugged -- he only used coke when he wasn't on a case. He got so bored he turned to drugs. When on a case he was always sobre, and a trained boxer. He's been known to bend iron bars with his bare hands.... but here's what he'd do, if he had a grudge against Batman:

He would interview various people in Gotham city, including villains, news reporters, and anyone who had any connection with Batman. He would, at some point interview Bruce Wayne. He would notice that Bruce had callouses in keeping with Batman's outfit and activity. He'd also be able to detect all the secret passages in Wayne Manor, and he'd notice that Bruce Wayne's mouth was identical to Batman's. He would deduce that Bruce was Batman, and during the five minutes or so that Bruce must sleep -- everyone's gotta sleep -- he'd handcuff him, and then settle whatever grudge they had.

That's rather ungentlemanly. And Albert would beat seven shades of something out of the guy.

Do you mean Alfred? I had forgotten Alfred. He'd be rather difficult to deal with. Sometimes I get the feeling that he's the REAL brains behind the whole operation.

Yeah. Alfred would have him as well. But Al;bert. He's one hard guy. Ooh. You better watch out for him. Etc.

Affy and I are indeed friends, but have never met IRL and I don't know his real name. It's become a bit of a joke between us, actually, with me building a dossier on him full of any stray facts he may let slip. Right now the dossier is pretty slim. I do know, however, that he is roughly your age, give or take a year.

Aha. As I suspected. And I would surmise that he is a one-legged dockworker who chews mustard seeds. He has a tattoo of a rose on his left forearm, which he got during his fifteen year stint in the navy. He is much travelled, and plays the tennor saxophone in a jazz band somewhere in Michigan. His favourite food is letuece, and he prefers orange to purple. He has a younger sister who has emigrated to switzerland. He cannot stand the sight of sheep.

Elementary my dear Lupus.
