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

Welcome Matt to the small but intricate world of H2G2 !!!

Given your pen trick, I would say not a moment to soon...

If you have any problems along your travels, be sure to look up MY H2G2 Guardian Angels, who are just waiting to render you some divine inspiration...

- Simply, High Spirited.

Thanks GOD. For know I think everything is under control. I've got my towel, my monkeys are packed, I think I am good to go.

* HE hands him a Babel Fish... *

You might need one of these...

- Simply, High Spirited.

Not to muscle in where divine intervention has occurred, but it is my job. Well, not that I get paid for it. Why do You suppose that is?

Anyway, aside from the Guardian Angels, there is this little group called the Assistant Community Editors (ACEs) who help out new people as well. If you feel like you're getting more help than you could ever desire, well, we can help with that, too.

Anyway, here's a few resources to help you get started on your journey from relative unknown to Great Researcher:

The Newcomers Welcome Page has all sorts of handy things to help you get started: http://www.h2g2.com/A5752

The Overwhelmingly Huge Guide to H2G2 Clubs is now beginning to live up to its name, and can help plug you into the social current of the site: http://www.h2g2.com/A270325

And my fellow Aces can be found here: http://www.h2g2.com/A214796

If you have any questions, feel free to ask myself or any of the other Aces. Welcome once again!

Heya Matt!


how're you doing tonight?


I saw your name on the online list, and had to come visit.. Neat page!


have you consicered making that into an actual entry and submitting it? could be no end of fun as a car toy for kids on family holidays!


And *I* for one can vouch for it's entertainment value! 8 minutes and counting!

medic...?!

Yes, the Spen will surely be immortalized in the Official Annals of the guide. It still needs some work, however. Some refining. Something with such potential for danger and personal harm requires a certain amount of quality control testing. I am currently running Level Three Safety Evaluations (Simulated Zero-G environments, Deep Sea Use, Calibrated Lennon-Integration Testing, etc, etc) I'll be sure to let you know when it hits the Scientific Community though!

Thanks for your interest!

hehehehe.. just wish i'd had a spen when i was being annoyed by my brothers back when! History woulda been rewritten!

BROTHER: MO-O-OM! He's POKING me!!

MOM: Stop poking your brother!

ME: WHAT? it's just a PEN- SEE?!?! I'm doing my HOMEWORK!

MOM: Brian, why don't you go play outside and leave your brother alone- he's doing his homework.

BROTHER: but MO-O-OM!!

ME:

*Snicker*

Just for that, I am adding "Annoying Zax's brother" to the list of Spen Functions.

you can also take one of those spring pens with the retractable cartridge thing and make them shoot parts out it's fun but it's sorta hard to explain if anyone knows how try to explain cause I don't know how a guy in my class in 4th grade taught me how it's one of the things you learn in school other than the alphabet and one of the most useful if you have younger sibs : >(not completly but mostly evil gins are very difficult to make with computer keys if anyone knows how write and tell me

I meant grins sorry I hate this keyboard

hehehehehe...

LYS, nice to meet you! and that opens up a whole new world to the spen.. the SPRING LOADED spen! they'd have to put up a 'WANTED!' poster of me up at my local doctor's office!
