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

It's an interesting time waster (not your entry), don't you think?

It is. Actually, I've often wondered whether hootoo could provide us with a 'Citation Index' to see how opften our Entries are mentioned. I occasionally get disillusioned when I think nobody reads and/or refers to the Entries I've spent so long researching and writing. I sometimes think 'Why do I bother'? VBut this has gone some way to disp[elling that

Yes, it's a great proof for what Antelia has said so often (and I never really believed before), namely that the entries are read by very many people.
And it's not only that they are read by many, they are deemed interesting enough to link to, too.

My very first Entry on Moh's Scale of Hardness A2982576 has had a satisfying no. of hits as well . Must stop doing this

There's your weekend gone, Big Al.

No, as I said, I've given up with it now . I start teaching my classes again on Monday, so need to prepare. Also I've got a job interview on Wednesday that I need to prepare for (I've been made redundant w.e.f. 30th September due to the College relinquishing the Foundation Degree in Forensic Science and insufficient students signing up for the Chemistry component of the Access to Higher Education course.

I'm very sorry to hear that.
Lots of for your job interview!
