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

I was talking to my Dad on msn and somehow the h2g2 window closed itself. I just had to log back in!

Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

Still waiting for a sub... 8:51pm... so... hungry...

Whaa!!! It happened again... the window closed itself!

On a happier note I got my sub... yum!!! And it's only 10:08pm!!! Still doing laundry though, and talking to myself.

It's a sad but true fact that hootoo goes bloody silly at times, after a while you just go, do something else meanwhile, try taking a devious route to get back in (try going via BBC news, or even Google sometimes works, Wikipedia too)

It's because they haven't fed the hamsters. The wheels of progress just stop turning.

When's the last time they lubricated the hamster wheels, anyway?

I thought the hamsters did that themselves! Lazy hamsters.

Hmm, self-lubricating hamsters, now there's a thought...call the quick!

zdt

I'm on it... wait. What's the number?

42!

zdt

Oh right...

Lets see... 4...2... oh, it's long distance. I think you'd better call.

Don't forget the internatrional code...UK is 01, I think USA is 13....the code for the inner bowels of the planet where even now it is contemplating the Ultimate Question once again.....

UK is 44

My dear Paper lady, once again you have proved yourself most invaluable, and again I thank you
Perhaps I got it backward and the US is 01, I lived in the UK for a short time, and I'm sure 01 was used in corrospondance

I can't count, I'll send messages in semephore instead

I sit corrected, US is 011.....hey, if we combine UK and USA, besides getting UKSA, you get ( 044 - (0+1+1)) = 42!!!

spookya Scully and Mulder job me'thinks

I've got a few friends from on here that I've called in the past (too broke now). *Looks in address book* 011 is what you dial to call overseas anywhere, 44 is UK, 45 is Denmark, 41 is Switzerland, 31 is The Netherlands, 27 is South Africa, and 97 is Israel I wonder what country has 42 as their code (Probably somewhere in Europe...)

Easy! We just send a Czech!!!!!

According to the good Prof's link....Swiss have 41, the Czech republic have 420, but no 42

and once again....
I sit corrected

E.T. phoned home ok, what number did he use ??
