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

It seems that an awfully large part of ones life is spent waiting, for a bus, for the kettle to boil, etc, etc. I am currently waiting for someone to finish using the printer so that I can use it and then go home!!

What is really needed is a source of interesting ways to pass time whilst waiting. Things that won't distract too much attention from that which is being waited for whilst still occupying the mind.

Here are a few examples:

1-Reading the information lables on the back of the computer monitor opposite
2-Planning the recipe for tonights dinner
3-pondering the meaning of life

Planning to conquer the world is always an amusing pastime. As is reading cereal boxes, should any cereal boxes be nearby, of course.

The warning labels on cigarette boxes are there to give smokers something to do while waiting for their nicotine to hit their veins. Thoughtful of the manufacturers, huh?
