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

No, let's not suffice. We need more in-depth information here.

~A~

Right; in that case, go to:

Don't blame me if anything untoward should happen to you...

*the merest possibiltiy hadn't begun to specualte...*

~A~

Well... I really ought to go to bed. On my own, note...

Oh my... Funerals will never be the same again!

Sleep well,

~A~

And you... not that I shall really be going to bed. I'll probably have a stab at me Oxford form first... aargh...

Mark my words... the end is nigh, and all because we can't get any petrol...

I think I'm going to record my prophesies for posterity and write an entry on this...

An entry on 'This'... I'll bet no-one's done that yet.

No petrol... yay! Peaceful roads (almost) and a saving in the already over-stretched budget.

~A~

Ah... but have you read "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood? The whole of society can crumble as a result of such a seemingly small and petty incident...

I think I've just read too many dystopias. I'll have to write an entry on those too (and I'm not intending on writing an entry on prepositions, smartarse)...

Oooooooh!

Society crumbling is a bad thing you reckon?

~A~

well if bits of it fall on my head then it might be bad.

Have I missed anything....oh I see you've given up on the Nicorette and are back on the ciggies, Emily.

I'd guess that Sky will only be able to show the Dome Blackadder once the Dome shuts, so get writing to your MP and complain about money being wasted on it. No that won't work, there's gonna be no mail. Hmm, howabout blockading the dome?

Would anyone notice?

OI! Lifelong non-smoker, me; never touched a cigarette in my life!

But perhaps the Dome idea isn't so bad.

... and obviously proud of it, but as you well know, it wasn't meant to be taken literally. It was a reference to you being back to necrophilia after weaning (if that's the right word) yourself onto the near-dead (if that's the right phrase).

Do you let your new partners have a smoke afterwards, or is that just the cremations?

Right - just in case anyone hasn't seen this:

Neil Armstrong's Message
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, henot only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks, usual communication traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic
remark "Good Luck Mr. Gorsky."

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good Luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. Then, on July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay, FL, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the
26-year-old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died, and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in front of his neighbor's bedroom window. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up
the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs.Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

I don't know if I really believe that, but it's given me the best laugh I've had all week .

laugh, laugh, laugh

But I bet Mr. Gorsky *still* didn't get any...

Ah but that's where you're wrong, Mr Gorsky later remarried and changed his name. He now runs his own little country and bombs people when he doesn't get any. Yes, Mr Gorsky is now President of the US.

Whilst we're on the subject of being wrong, and in case you've been living on Mars, sell those Dome tickets Emily, Blackadder B&F is on Sky One tonight at 9pm.

Living on Mars? That's the best sounding diet I've heard of. If a Mars a day can do so much, imagine the effects of three 'square meals' worth. *wanders off feeling extremely hungry*

St.~A~

lower gravity on Mars - so if you lived on Mars in both senses of the word, you could keep the same weight! yippee!

Yeah, you also don't have all that nasty air pressing down on the scales as well and making you feel guilty.

*vaguely wonders if the astronauts in the space station will ever be able to get back thru the hatches and return to earth*
