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

Watch this footage of an incredible spectickle of mather nytcher: an incredible tornido of foyer! When a bushfoyer broke out after an extended droy spell in a region where there was an buildup of old growth of mulga trees, it turned into a storm of several tornidos, their funnels blizing with foyer! Watch this oar-inspoiring dense of joints here:

That was, indeed, as the man said, truly oar-inspoiring.

We don't do oar-inspoiring. We do, 'Yep. Seeownnded lahk a durn freight train.'

What is it about the domestic Brit? You pick him up and set him down in another planetary quadrant, and he starts doing things to his vowels that would break the Universal Translator...

strewth, wondered if your spell checker had gone astray there

Ostoilia is a scary place, those Osses are tough dudes. Earbiting fighter Mike Tyson was scared of koala bears even.

Well here in Seff Effrika we mess up de consonants more dan de vowels. Bat we do mess some of de vowels ap too. Raait so I'm exeggerating a bit ... dis is jast a parrady of our dileckt after all! (No not de kind of parrady det goes 'Polly wanna krekker'!)

OK enough with the silly dialect stuff! Elektra, there are about a million things in Australia that are more scary than koala bears ... but then Tyson is not exactly sane now is he? Anways I have relatives in Australia, my cousin (my mom's eldest sister's daughter) and her husband and their three children. They did not go for the usual reasons white people emigrate (you might take a guess more or less what is the main reason white people would leave this country) ... it's because her husband's father was totally limiting his opportunities over here, and also because their youngest daughter is severely disabled and they get a better deal for caring for her in Australia. Nothing has eaten them yet ... but I think being farm folks they are indeed tough!

You should try to get an invite to visit them. Just beware of angry emus and those huge spiders and deadly snakes! Not to mention their lightning balls, horizontal rain and foyer tornados! Where do they have their station?

Hi Elektra! I won't mind the emus or the spiders ... I'll watch out for the snakes. What's that about horizontal rain? My cousin and her family live close to Sydney but I don't think they'll ever invite me.

That's a shame. I am sorry. I think most people down there live near cities and the coast.
