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

Well, that'll do it.

There is a reason for your lack of confidence, Bagpuss. You are not correct!

Hiya guys!

I suspected as much. Anyone else care for a guess?

I could make a guess!

(I could also get a guess from my 2 year old daughter on this one - NO NOT BARNEY!)

I'm assuming it's the author of Where the Wild Things Are ... but I'm just guessing, and I don't know his/her name ... or if that's even the name of the book ...

Guess who's seen...

Yes it is Shea. (and it's a him) (there has to be some mostly-useless bonus points for getting that far I'll have to check with the official scorer)

HIYA OTTIE! Howrya doin?

I'm cheating as much as ever.

I believe you can find him in the list at <./>A199109</.>, and I wonder if he's got any connection to U35091 - I don't know any of them.

I did my usual cheating, but it didn't come up, so I resorted to guessing ...

Well it was Maurice Sendak and his wonderful children's book "Where the wild things are" but I didn't see it on that list Ottox. Welcome back to the winners circle!

Sendak is on the list, but with another book. "In The Night Kitchen".

That Ottox is so smart ... and the keeper of links, too!

#150 is MC Escher! Bossel gave me an awesome Escher book when he came to visit NY.

I guess I should have actually clicked that link, eh?

Only if you want to known as the "Sub-Keeper of Links"!

Well done contestant Shea! I have a couple books on Escher also, it should be a requirement for everyone.

Well done Shea? How about well done Ottox?

Or maybe you just didn't recognice him? Well, I prefer to look at pictures made *by* him instead too. Good thing that I also have books!

Sorry I didn't click that link. I thought it was another Sendak link proving that he was on the list of banned books. My apologies.

Very well done Ottox!

(hmmm, we've never taken a point back after it's been awarded - I think we'll have to send this to the rules review committee - it shouldn't take too long, maybe 4 or 5 months to sort it out)

I like this quotation. No idea who said it, but it reminds me of another good one: "Some men are born mediocre, some achieve mediocrity and some have mediocrity thrust upon them. With John Major [British PM] all of the above are true." I don't know who said that either.

Guess: David Letterman.

It might be right.

Nope! But it is an Contemporary American, you forgot to check out the clue again?

Oh yeah. Doesn't tell me much, though.

Me too neither!
