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

I read what you wrote in the "You know you're an h2g2 addict" forum, and I thought I'd leave you a greeting, so you won't be so disappointed next time you log on!

If you want to get involved in conversations, most of the time you should just hop in and say "hi"! The vast majority of the time you'll be greeted with open arms and an ! Lurk a bit to make sure you're not interrupting a virtual dalliance, though.

I saw Asimov at an SF convention once. Someone had given me an original copy of Foundation, and I was going to bring it so he'd sign it for me ... and I FORGOT TO BRING IT!!! I'm still over that ...

See ya round!

Do you know why a virus isn't alive?

It's ok I found out.

I'm glad you found out ... 'cause I couldn't have answered that one!

How long do contributions take got become part of the guide?

After you write an Entry, your next step should be mentioning it in Peer Review at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/PeerReview . Be sure to read this page before you post. You'd hate to have them toss your recommendation in the "Sin Bin" just because you put the wrong title on your thread!

Once it's in Peer Review, a Scout or two should stop by, read it, and make suggestions if necessary. The Scout then lets the Sub-Editors know that there's a likely Entry available, and the Sub-Editors then check it out. It's then sent to the Editors if it's approved.

I wrote an Entry in the middle of March, and I got word last week that it's headed to the Editors. So it only took about a month this time!

Good luck!

Thanks, you've been very helpful. I'm indebted to you.

It's free, no debt incurred!

OK if you insist. Are you sure not even a tiny bit indebted?

Well, if you insist ...

Any time.

Hi, thought I'd say hello to you as well cos I was new for ages (since before Xmas) and someone only said hello to me yesterday. So hi.

Thanks. Are you really a good angel or have you fallen like L.? I'm sure you are good really and no pretense.

I AM an angel . And I'm good most of the time. Honest
It's from the radiohead song [nice dream] actually, on The Bends. Apparently it's a song which evokes images of me because it's sweet and depressing, but that I was from a friend's brother and I think it was vodka talking .

Vodka Mmmmmmmm

Vodka is great but vodka jelly is lethal. We had it at a party one time and everyone gave up on using spoons and just lifted handfulls of it into their mouths. It got a bit messy after a while. And it takes longer to set than ordinary jelly
