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

She gets high grades with me!!

See ya in game #98 as we march onward to our centennial quiz!!!

Hey, a new quiz hiding here. Unfortunately I don't know the answer, but I'll take a guess. Eddie Izzard?

Nope! Welcome I've seen you about BPuss! Keep trying the clue changes if no one gets it! But Ottox usually gets it first.

But since you're new...

obvious hint warning

Think more 80's world leader importance, not that Mr. Izzard wasn't!

::: waves at Bagpuss :::

That one took me a minute, but didn't George Bush call Barbara mommy?

I don't mean Dubya, who would obviously call Barbara mommy ... I mean his dad ...

I fail to see what it has to do with how he refers to his Mrs, but Bush Snr seems a likely candidate for having said this. Still, nowt ventured, nowt got, so I'll try Ronald Reagan.

Thanks for the clue, Elwood, it's just a shame I didn't hang around long enough to see it before Shea.

But you are correct and she is not!

Woohoo your first QuoteQuiz point!!!

Yay ! I'd probably have gone for Bush if I'd been first, so thanks Shea. Does that mean there's a new question?

Yes, there is.

"... is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

Unfortunately there's no points for completing the quotation, so I'll have to figure out who said it.

Erm.

It wasn't Douglas Adams was it? Seems a bit obvious for the h2g2 site, but what the heck.

It is!

And it was!

On purpose. (honoring him with the 99th quote)

Whenever the quote is too long for the system to handle in the top bar, I have to complete it in the line below. So that's a long way of saying no bonus points for you completing the quote.

Though bonus points are regularly handed out for anything the judges find pleases them. Such as , , (don't ask)...just pop by the QuoteQuiz standings thread at the bottom of my page and meet the judges in one of the early posts.

If your interested there is a Rock Music Tourament going on at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A683886

We are about to begin voting on the final eight songs. Voted down from 64! Everyone will be able to vote on each of the last 4 match-ups. Take a look.

MEET THE JUDGES -

Judge #1: Otis Dragonbreath

Judge #2: Astaire Barishnicough

Judge #3: Perciful Swishybottom

Judge #4: Will Grabbitol

You mean I was right again?

I now feel a bit stupid for not noticing the entire quote below.

Well Judge #4 is kind of a curmudgeon so he might dock you that point!

Hey folks the Centennial QuoteQuiz is up!

Congratulations and thank you to all the contestants who have made this game what it's become today!














*what exactly is it?*

I don't think I recognise this one. Given the facts that it sounds a bit like him and he's already been in a few times, I reckons Groucho Marx.

Nope! Keep trying! No hints yet!

Hum, well it seems like a line from that sort of bizarre film. Um... Woody Allen?

Sorry! *hints forthcoming tomorrow!*

(you were closer the first guess)Oops! That just slipped out!

Chico Marx?

Not THAT close!
