So you saw the last episode too? Pity they don't have a link here on that entry. (Hmm, I'm an ace perhaps I shouldn't be saying that, considering my opinions at times....)

I did see the episode. 
What's wrong with wanting more links to h2g2?

More h2g2 links = more new researchers = more clueless newbies = more aceing fun!
(ask RhoMuNuQ to point out the irony in myself saying this)

Don't misunderstand me, aceing i great. Particulary when you get a user who goes on to write more articles for the edited guide than you, its just horrendous when you get lusers who can't find the any or caps lock keys. Sometimes it just feels like an enternal september.
You really should also Rho about the irony aspect though.

You're joking right? Its the key just to the right of r_alt

correct answer: 
There is no 'any key'. The problem is then what to press when things ask you to 'Press any key'.
spelugx -- not realising 'English' humor really was subtle

I originally thought you meant that, but i then thought you couldn't because you don't normally mention real keys after that joke (it's a very old joke, even better is you say "hit any key", because they you can have a cartoon thing with someone hitting a key marked "any" on the keyboard with a sledgehammer 
). You managed to confuse me, yet again. Well done!

Did you see that last episode of Farscape on BBC2 recently? I hate it when series are ended badly just for the hell of it! Crichton and Aeran(sp?) were just about to get married and have a baby and suddenly they're blown up! Why? In fact, why didn't they jump out of the boat at the last moment and swim back to the ship?

There's also a Babel Fish reference under "Translator Microbes".

There was going to be annother series when they wrote the ending, but then they canceled it, so it doesn't really work.
