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

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what does "Bufanda" actually mean? I've heard of Brad(d) Bufanda, the (American?) actor, and also that Bufanda is a type of french giraffe (maybe), but apart from that, I'm lost.

As you can see by that paragraph, I really have no idea what I'm talking about there, so I could really do with someone explaining it to me...

Bufanda is in fact Spanish for scarf.

In my Spanish classes we had to write in Spanish, and they had to be coherent story line to the writings so out of a bit of a spoofiness I made up a super hero that derived his psychic powers from a high tech scarf.

I was a bit vague in my first response so I thought I should elaborate.

Ah, thanks for that. Now I understand.

Do you want to know what chewable acidophilus is now?

No! I do not know what an acidophilus is let alone a chewable one! My only guess is that it's a pill of some sort!

Super Bufanda, an 'Acidophilus' is a highly rare latin word used for a paricular species of unknown life form discovered somewhere in the world.

Its genus is not known however it possesses a unique system of being able to be chewed by any such being, the creature takes this as a symbiotic relationship and while it gets massaged to nothing you get a minty taste taste in your mouth and perfectly fresh breath.

This went on for about a year before clever person somewhere in a white coat, an asylum worker I think or he might have been an inmate changed the name to 'chewing gum'.

He earned a packet and lifetime session in a rubber walled room with thousands of Acidophilusi so he could have minty breath inbetween his rampant gurgling and screaming and talking to George Washington and Doctor Livingstone.

And there you have it, now where's my money?

Just a second I've to get it out of my pocket. (Makes exaggerated motion of getting into one's pocket and turns and runs)

Come back here you thief! Police! Police! He stole my money while I told him about a lunatic who invented chewing gum talking to himself- hang on.... who am I talking to?
