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

So I'll be safe for another 50 years or so. What a relief!
It helps that I've never heard of any of those people...

Do you know about the convict who was sentenced to be hanged within a week, and his last wish was that they could only hang him on a day when he didn't expect it? He figured they couldn't hang him on Sunday, because if he was still alive on Sunday morning, he would know and expect to be hanged that day. They couldn't hang him on Saturday either, because, since he knew it wouldn't be on Sunday, he'd expect it to be Saturday in that case. By the same logic, they couldn't hang him on Friday, Thursday, Wednesday or Tuesday... which leaves Monday, and since he expected that, they couldn't hang him at all.

They hanged him on Wednesday, and it was totally unexpected.

You've stuck me with this, KB! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VAyT1hnVX8

See, This is the problem with pacifists. They hurl earworms at each other instead of grenades, but with the same intention.

And I clicked on it...

Now I'm sure the two of you will appreciate this one... no earworm potential whatsoever.

I am refusin to blick on any* links in this thread

Oh, come on, 2legs dear... you KNOW you want it...

Is that really a wise thing to say to 2legs? Am I going to have to insist on having an RSPCA officer here for the ponies' sake? (Click the link 2legs...if you do I will, promise)

Yarreau, what's your part of the world looking like summer-y autumn-y -wise?

I'm too frightened to click on them

We've had the most wonderful summer weather in a decade, and it still lasts. Especially if 2legs clicks on my totally harmless, inconspicuous link...

P.S. Wait a minute... I'm frightening 2legs... what does that say about me?

I really am not sure...

Get a room, you two.

Will you click on my link then?

'Will you click on my link'.... That's a new euphamism to me

Probably not, no.

I'm still a bit drool-y over some of the vinyl albums you have though...but not enough to click links.

Oohhh, maybe Summer's got a bit in reserve. They're talking about a return to a July-esque heat wave.

Which I gather never really stopped in England, but it did here. Or moderated into grey humidity and rain, rather, even if it didn't really cool down much.

But tomorrow I'm hiking, so it will be nice and rainy, no doubt.

Have a good time!

The gods of Twitter/BBC say the rain won't reach the east until this evening. Do I believe them or take a waterproof jacket...

you'll have a bucket with you for the blackberries. Put it on your head if it rains.
