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

That is so stupid.

Oh, well, at least now I know it's "only" some disease, not a tumour.

Oh, lord. Well, at least it isn't a tumour.

But that's dumb.

At least I get to go back to Wuppertal and finally sign up for some seminars, if there are any still to be had

well, there's al;ways the chance they'll get you in as a medical oddity and get the student docs to poke around a bit

Whatever you do, do *NOT* google for an answer - you won't be able to sleep with some of the 'what ifs' that come from that!

I don't want to be poked anymore! I *object* to being poked!

And you're right, I shouldn't have googled the stuff they told me was a possibility

heh Ah well, providing it doesn't burst and lots of little baby spiders come out shouldn't too bad. OTOH if it is weird and gruesome you can probabl;y get some trashy TV production company to make a 'the girl whose neck exploded' programme about you!

Very reassuring, that

I always like to look for the best in any situation

Trash TV is the *best* you can think of?

well, I'm assuming you'd take them for a wheelbarrow load of cash to film your story

I'd pay them not to be filmed

oh come on, you can't begrudge the masses their voyeuristic invasions of other peoples unfortunate circumstances?

No, I just want to be able to offer an exclusive interview

and those of us who have met you can sell our stories too.

it's a win-win situation.

*phones RTL2*

I fear for your sanity if you spend any time talking to that bunch of loonies

Brilliant idea.

who are RTL2?

A German Television Company, if my memory serves me correctly...

MMF

presumably not one for the intellectual elite then?
