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

I like hubbities(prob a bit ceebeebies tho!) and I think thread weavers is great. Peta whatever you call them they will get a nickname you know

It really ought to have something to do with DNA though-but none of those letters inspire much you want to give the impression that they are free to cross the hub and go to any part of the 'galaxy' like some sort of space ambassadors-Intercyber Rescue carrying things in their diplomatic 'bag' threads, scissors etc.

KerrAvon,

Pot-heads > "pot" is Dutch slang for a lesbian.

All the more reason not to go with that idea then

And don't show anyone the soles of your feet or give them the okay sign either....

"pot" is Dutch slang for a lesbian

That must cause a HUGE amount of confusion for the teenage UKians wandering around Amsterdam

Oh, good point that woman!

Unless of course they were up for anything

How about going back to the roots of the site - DNA - Douglas Noel Adams - those who work with DNA - The Adams Family?

That way we get to bug you all the time asking you which one of the staff is Lurch and which is the little furry one?

Some great suggestions, thanks!

This whole think is fraught with dangers isn't it, double meanings everywhere.

I quite like word-neutral thinks like 'bold italics' where we just change the look of the name and let members call them whatever they will. I suppose we could do the same with icons. What do you think of that? Maybe we could just put an icon by their name, but of what?

how am I supposed to list these?"

I'm missing something - a sewing machine icon? I can't see the logical link on some of these!

A Globe? Shouldn't it be a load of dancers, the 'globe' not being sufficiently internationalist?

How about a light bulb?
