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

I seem to end up injuring myself badly enough to warrant a hospital stay every November of odd numbered years.

November 1999: Ran through a sliding glass door.

November 2001: Broke my ankle attempting a martial arts flip.

November 2003: One can only imagine.


Sat: You mean you haven't seen the Spanish Inquisition Sketch? Nobody EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

Ok. I can claim to have seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and to have theLife of Brian somewhere on tape.

That's more than I thought I had.

I prefer Terry Gilliam films and all the offshoots of M.P...

RE : injuries. I have ones. Although running through a glass door is pretty . Crushed knuckle. Numerous cat scratches. Broken my foot twice - once when I found out why you don't jump into the shallow end of a swimming pool, and the other when my leg went dead playing on my SNES. One wrong move, one dead foot bending the wrong way...voila! You have a broken foot and a bruise shaped like Elvis.

Broken foot is not too bad. If it's only one bone, you can often walk on it while it heals. But a broken ankle you can't put any weight on until it's mostly healed. Not too many things more annoying than being on crutches for 6 weeks.

Breaking a bone from playing SNES is pretty .

OK, I may know this already but what's SNES?

Super Nintendo. The predecessor to N64 and GameCube. Apparently it was before your time, young one.

I was playing Pong when you were a damp spot on the sheets, boyo!

Wampus, obviously you have *never* had a broken foot... It hurts like hell!!!

I've also sprained my wrist numerous times. Once from playing rugby in the school playground We really shouldn't have been playing it. But they banned us from playing British Bulldog. Meanies.

British Bulldog! That's something I haven't heard in a while. I wonder if they still play it?

Pong was !

It's pretty much a banned game now. But it was excellent. We used socks. We used socks for everything.

"BULLDOG!"

*everyone runs like hell*

British Bulldog. That brings back memories.
