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

It's fun; but it is a lot of work. The Subs deserve a lot of credit for doing it.

I thought there was less for them to do these days judging how much work the editors of the entries now do. Do you like my Madonna entry on the front page? shame I don't like the picture. Also if you ever fancied doing your job in the UK Raymond Blanc (famous chef)needs a gardener for one of his places.

Hey, well done! Congratulations yet again

I wouldn't mind a change of job. At least there would be some good lunches, gardening for a chef.

yep i'm sure it would be

so you wouldn't mind frogs legs and snails then runs towards John with a frogs leg

Not scared in the least. I eat all that weird stuff.

I have rather a plain taste I don't like pizza, lasagna etc so its strange I like mussels, frogs legs and snails but not all french people eat these delicacies and i think some think its strange i like them and have eaten them ......for xmas day last year i eat snails as a starter at a french mock up restaurant in Disney in America

Mock-French Disney snails... Now there's something to ponder.

I enjoy going out and trying exotic things to eat. But there's nothing wrong with plain food either. Good basic meals, well prepared, are hard to beat, I'd say.

yep that must have been why they felt rubbery

yep I do like home made stuff

looking forward to eating more mince pies this winter the ones they have in the shops at the mo aren't nice pastry and have cherries in some and things like brandy in others ... looks like i'll have to make my own but they are nicer

Making them is part of the fun. I'm sure Santa prefers homemade.

I am sure you are right.. homemade are the best ... but I don't believe in Santa who covered up the true reason of christmas. I wonder what the 'mas' bit means.

Hmmm...According to Babelfish it's Spanish and Portuguese for 'but', French for 'farmhouse' (?) and Greek for 'us'.

hmm so not very useful then maybe I'll stick with my idea that perhaps it has something to do with midnight mass but an s has been added over time. So mas = birthday... time in which Christ was born.

That's as good a theory as any. Good enough for me.

I think I may ask someone of religious authority one day.

Ask two and see if you get the same answer.

I'm guessing I wont get the same answer

There must be something on the Web about it. I haven't looked, but I'd be surprised if there aren't loads of sites about the origins of Christmas.

I am sure you are right
