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

Hi Jodan, I think your entry has been flying back and forth to/from the Towers for a while, but I've ended up with it under my wing () and have come along to tell you where it is - A6092426 - and ask you to give it a once-ver before I return it to the editors. I have added rather a lot of h2g2 links, and as a few of them are mildly tangential, you might want some of them taken out. I also noticed that you do not refer to Ohio at any point. Are you sure you don't want to squeeze it in via a footnote or similar?

A fascinating entry, by the way. I like Greek mythology a lot, and the house of Atreus is particularly fascinating - perhaps I should write an entry on them, which would be a little more useful and intellectual than my usual efforts on comics and musicals!

Other than getting your OK, I think all I need to do now is find a BBC page or two to include as a reference.

Well, let's see, there was a Lt. Governor of Ohio in the mid-1800s whose name was Robert Kennedy. And Indianapolis, where that great speech quoting Aeschylus was delivered, is in Indiana, which borders... Ohio. Helen of Troy --> Troy, Ohio (A3556820) But nah. The world shall go on. I thought there was a funny anecdote concerning RFK and a busload of Iowans and Ohioans, but I can't find it in the biography of him I've got using the index, and I'm sure as heck not gonna reread the whole thing.

I was stunned that we didn't have an entry on the House of Atreus and that one of the only things that mentions them is one of Gnomon's entries on Greece!

Links look fine to me. The large family one is a bit tangential, but the Kennedys were in fact a very large family, so it works perfectly. Thanks.

Excellent. It's now gone back to Hootoo Towers, so should hopefully be frontpaged soon.
