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

yes, the disc itself

the actual disc.

A lot of grease for avoiding elephant friction!

octarine grease?

But does it come from the 5th elephant? that would be cruel.

hmmmmm, that i dont know.....

Ew... What happened to the Fifth Elephant? I've forgotten how it ended up as the base of Uberwald's economy...

fell off the turtle and then onto the disc like a big greasy comet...

Ah. That would explain it. So, if it landed on the top of the Disc, how d'you reckon the grease got on its underside? (the Disc's, not the elephants)

Found this:

Ankh-Morpork; The Streets of
Autor des Textes: Padgen, Neil and Adrian Ogden
Melodie: The Streets of London
Komponist der Melodie: Ralph McTell


Have you seen the old man in the Street of Cunning Artificers
Selling hot pig pies (or cow or horse or goat)
Tangy mustard might disguise the gristle lurking in his pies
"Just a dollar fifty and I'm cutting me own throat"

Chorus:
So how can you tell me that you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me walk you 'cross the Ankh and lead you through the streets of Morpork
I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl in her Quirm Street apartment
Stitching up the clothing that's piled upon her floor
"Bugger off!" you'll hear her say, broom in hand to drive away
The dwarves outside her window and the monks outside her door

Chorus

In Harga's House of Ribs at a quarter to eleven
Black robe and scythe in the corner all alone
For starter, main course and dessert, look at the front of
Harga's shirt One thing about this new cook, he works his fingers to the bone

Chorus

Have you seen the wizard inside the Mended Drum
Half his hat is missing, "WIZD" is all that's there
Permanently paranoid, he shares drinks with an anthropoid
One more forgotten wizard in a world that doesn't care

My sister has too much time on her hands, sending me that kind of thing

Could we giver her some of our work?

What work?

Oh... you're right, we don't have any...

But *after* exams are over I'll allow myself to buy Going Postal, we can look into that.

I think I'll also buy a new one then.

yeah, good for celebrations!
