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

Gor Blimey! I just went out for some coffee and orange juice, opened the door and there it was! Gave me the most fretful scare, and I didn't even summon the courage to actually go into the house for a further three hours. So, I've finally come in, put the OJ away, and I've sat here for an hour now, and the question is still there- what is it??

what are you looking at?

That *points* right over there! I know it wasn't there before. Kind of like- no... it isn't like that at all. Well, I have no way to describe my sentiment on this subject

Here in the UK it's called 'Sunday morning'. You may have a different name over there. The true horror is caused by turning off all alarm clocks and still waking at the time you do on a working day.

(try http://www.gifworks.com for the transparent gifs. It's a very easy to use site.)

Thanks for the site, but, unfortunately, THAT isn't sunday morning It didn't come early, which it would have had to if it was here six hours ago

can I have two of whatever you're on?

It's certainly the biggest one of those I have ever seen

Did you see the SIZE of that chicken?!

Sorry, I heard the chicken but I was too busy watching *that* to look for it

I think it ran behind 'that'.

Er, I don't like to suggest it but... looking at your descriptions..... "it's" not a coelacanth is it?

At least it doesn't seem to be moving. Much.

I don't know... I've never seen a Coelacanth. Could you describe one?

You have to go to Coelacanth's page and check out the link she has with some cool pictures of animals like her. It's pretty neat, although none of the pictures look like *THAT*!

I'll agree with you on that one ...

*pops off to coelacanth's page*

I'm big, ugly, blue, mottled and have very large teeth. Also extremely ancient. However, I have a rather nice hat on at the moment which comes in handy for drinking. Fins are not much help holding the bottles.

sorry, I am pretty sure that THAT isn't what that is

Can we have some more clues then?
*quite relieved not to have been "it"*

Well, the colour is a muddy sort of ... no, its more like a faded ... no, maybe a blend of ... well, I guess you just have to look at it.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest
