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

Don't mind if I do. Can't eat after midnight, but I've got time yet.

I imagine I should be able to use the touchscreen on my iPad without too much difficulty.

popcorn and cheese? Not what i would combine

I like slightly sweet, slightly salty

Salt for me. Although I have been known to eat toffee popcorn.

butter or salt for me

A bit of aged white cheddar and salt. You think corn and cheese don't mix? You should check the ingredient list on the next cheesy snack you consume. Corn is everywhere.

"corn is everywhere"

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me

would you like to set up a board arguing for the banning of corn and corn based byproducts?

only if you can prove that the CIA, Mossad, Iran, Aliens, 2legs, Elvis, Kennedy and Diana are all involved

give me a few moments.... I'll work on it,

Delaying the exposing of evidence!

Evidently you cannot be trusted Dr Anthea,

well... it's too late for you corn has spread round the world enjoyed by all even when they dont know it!

Even with names that don't sound like corn, like maltodextrin.

I should really clock in.

*takes out the latest copy of The New Yorker and settles in to read, one ear cocked toward the control room*

it has malt at the beginning!

And in any case scientific names tend to confuse me, not because of their complexity, but because they use corrupted forms of latin and greek (two of my alevels) - which in their pure form gives odd translations

I'll have to think about that -- nasty chemicals with friendly names.

I should have made the day staff their own break room to break. They still haven't got the hole repaired.

Let's play at quizzes. Name 10 famous bovines.

The nanobots I ordered to fix the hole is the wall have finally been delivered. Sorry it took so long, but the company that sells them had some problems with their time machine apparantly.

Ordering them was fine, send a letter and when they start up in business they'll pick it up, then send them back to us once they're read.

Still, they're here now. I just have to figure out how to make them work properly without going off and running amok...

I hear there is a company, skynet something that helps with that
