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

It has to be sticky enough to hold yet manoeuvrable briefly once set down, drying then into firmness. Tasting not so bad, offending no one's religion, not too high in calories and cheap. Whose job is it to meet these specifications?

OK so it isn't duct tape...and thats the only all around material I know of, except it isnt edible. Well, maybe we just havent explored that use...hummmmm

yeah, and then they will say we were just computer generated special effects, and if they used macintosh the effects would be so good that who would know the difference and then I would begin to wonder if I really exist and dragons are endangered already...

Postage stamp glue makers.

Normal stamps have 4 calories. Big ones a dragon's gut-busting 15

but all I can buy lately is those pressure sensitive types.

so are all of the postage stamp glue makers out of jobs????

maybe they could get jobs with the duct tape people...

Only Americans have ducts and therefore duct tape. The rest of the world call it sticky tape, double-sided tape etc. Our ducts are called pipes, conduits, tubes and other mind-numbingly boring names.

Did you know a distant relation of yours, the tuatara, lives only in New Zealand? It is a greenish-grey lizard like rhynchocephalian reptile.

"one of the oldest and most un-evolved species, having hardly changed in the past 220 million years..." I like that in a reptile.

Actually the sphenodon punctatus [Northern Island tutara] remindes me somewhat of dear ole uncle Bruce. In temperament I mean, not in looks. the tutara is much more handsome...

However, their diet needs to be somewhat improved upon. "They feed on wetas, worms, lizards, millipedes and small seabirds." I personally feed upon chock'lit cake, eclaires, mousse, lemonade and raspberry tea. *burp* ['scuse me]

And how DOES the rest of the world manage without duct tape???? I can understand them getting along without ducts; but NO duct tape????!!!!
Quel dommage! Les pauvres! Je ne comprend pas!!!!

But did you notice the cunning reference to chocolate in the tuatara's 'species type' name. The Latin name is sometimes corrupted to Sphenodon Punk Rocker

The weta grows as large as a man's outstretched hand. Not an insect to be mucked about with.
