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

brave, brave sir robin.

I'd rather keep my hearing intact, thank you. There's been a lot of research on the subject, it turns out you don't react, or even take as much damage from the sounds you produce yourself, or the sounds that you really like... Did you know that the sound of a child emptying a box full of LEGO is enough to make a person deaf... only it doesn't damage the child because it's the sound of fun... One of the worlds best percussionists, Evelyn Glennie, is deaf, though...

It provided a bit of fun, though...

Brave brave sir Robin,
brave Sir Robin ran away,
He bravely ran away.
When danger reared its ugly head,
he bravely turned his tail and fled...

actually i know what you mean about the Lego thing...

I understand the LEGO, too. My brothers will be deaf by the time they hit thirty.

Well, according to recent research, they won't...

uhp! too bad, ones already half way there.

Then you should get ear protection for him before it's too late... The more he loses of his hearing, the louder he'll become...

until such time that he created more noise than the spinish armarda.

too late. hes got permanent brain damage from excessive cellphone radiation i think.

Well we can't all be in the world where moblie phone compaines get sued for major dammge.

Naw, and I don't think we should... It's not their ruddy fault, is it. If you haven't got enough sense to see the damage in it yourself, then that's really your problem.

best just to stick it on your windowsill and be done with it. actually, mine lives in the caverns of my purse...if you could call it that.

Mine lives in the windowsill, like you said, and occasionally in the flowerbed underneath the windowsill. Due to political correctness, I can't use a purse... What a nuisance. I think the most idiotic idea for a place to keep it must be those handy compartments on the straps of someones rucksack... Right next to the heart, and in convenient distance to your head...*shakes head*

Well, guys can carry purses as long as it looks like a messenger bag. My purse is more like a Mary Poppins bag. It's bigger than the average suitcase!

This is why I have a wallet.

You can put your cellphone in your wallet?

I want one.

I don't have a cellphone.

Why do you need a wallet, then?

to stick his cellphone in, of course.
