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

Before I say anything else, .
I won't be leaving h2g2 again for a vacation. I saw how you all conducted yourselves in my absence in California, so that won't happen again.

I'm just taking a month or two vacation from editing the UnderGuide, and I'll probably weasle my way out of the rest of my jobs for a month or two too.

Slacker.

H

That's why you were punting around for us to be miners!

Have a good break from it Jodan, but don't leave us will you? I have a whole heap of entries just waiting for a slack period in PR


Fb

Hypatia and I *probably* won't pass the termillennium post on your thread while you're away

Have fun - and don't forget to take your

Pimms

Pimms, I'm not going anywhere. Still in Ohio.
Still on h2g2. Just as much.

F/b, if I have my way I'll have about ten entries in PR total by the end of the week. Most of them on Ohio.

I'll hold fire then until that lot's gone through. There's such a backlog already...
Fb

Really just seven. And I already have five in there (four Ohio entries, probably why they're having such a tough time getting out )

Oh, just 7. That's okay then I've got your flag one to comment on

3 of mine are in there, with 5 waiting in the wings and 2 more being written this week I'm on another roll!

I've had your Samoa one in a window for a few days, waiting for me to find some time.

I've got a goal. To make Ohio the second most written about state in the Guide. That's just eleven more entries.

Have a nice hiatus, Venerable Ovine.

As a kind of reaction to all this Ohio-nonsense, I searched. For some inexplicable reason (probably you) Cleveland still lakes an EG-Entry.
So the key words had to be "mistake/lake"...

A362468 - the best the MontheL yet offers?
A147674 - the state capital is EG'd, but here's another.
A285167 - this place has a history...but this isn't it. Surely Ohio has not forgotten steel?

After which, things get odder...
A315244
A111583
A35597
A3033 (well, really!)
A59997 (hey, it's my local pub!)
A139079
A805781

Enjoy your rest, Jodan. We're all gonna talk about you, just as if you're not here!

"lakes"?
I meant "lacks"...
(Good beer in the PandS)

I forget about Cleveland. I deal with southwestern Ohio and sometimes central. That's Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnatti.

But I'm not powerful enough to keep the guide from mistakenly/lake-ing an entry. Yet.

I think these things should be measured on a per head of population basis, I do. I think that would be fair and rational, don't you?

Columbus actually has more people than Cleveland in the city itself.
However, Cleveland has more people in the suburbs and surrounding area than Columbus does and it's a more important city industrially and commercially.

Lots of factors, I say.
Cleveland is the ninth fattest city in the US (and by extension, the world), while Columbus is only tenth. Columbus has more governmental power, while Cleveland has more trade and commercial power. Cleveland is closer to the Football Hall of Fame and has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Columbus has a better mall.

Cleveland has a richer past, and Columbus was almost named Ohio City.

Oh? You didn't want to talk about Ohio that much?
Well, when you get me started I just go on and on.

So go ahead and ask me if Cincinnati or Dayton is better.
