ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 16th November 2000 
Inky lives here
Ink Pot

My U-42

(16 x 0) + (43 - 1) = 42!!
(Go on- Can you make the magic number out of your U-ID?)

Hello Unknown Visitor (I'm not Unknown Visitor)

Thanks for visiting. This is where I live, and I don't charge for tea or use of the lavatory. The name's Wash. *Ink* Wash. You can call me Inky.
I came to H2G2 on the 16th of November 2000 via a Babelfish link on another site, and was persuaded to stay and write on the strength of the spoons article. Read it. Learn about spoons.
In case you're wondering, I'm male.

My H2G2 Résumé

I have accumulated a fair few titles since I got here.
I am:

I'm very proud to announce my affiliation to the Thingites. Go to their page, Unknown Visitor. I'm the Speaker of The Strand Underpass. I also started the N3 thread! Yes, that was me. I must be, like, a wizard or something...

'Finland rules Oo-Koo'

By the way:

UG Entry Thing

The UnderGuide is well worth a visit, and if your blog just can't take the strain then write some of your thoughts down as articles.

H2G2 also has it's own kind of world, the map for which is here.
Wondering what researchers look like? Here are some photos!

JOURNAL
Officially The Greatest Journal Entry Ever
May 5, 2004

Yes, the panel convened today to *unianimously* vote this entry the best journal entry they had ever seen.

The head of the panel, who represents 100% of the members, said he was so glad he wrote the entry and hadn't expected such universal acclaim.

The panel will begin voting next week on "Sexiest H2G2 Researcher" and the results are awaited with anticipation.

There seems to be a lot in the local news lately about bus accidents.

This entry is a short space in recognition of the Konginkangas disaster and to the families of the young people involved.

It's also a tribute to the 15-year old who prevented the bus in Ostrobotnia from driving into a river.

Sherbet for the soul

If only! drool


(Incidentally, if there are any US researchers reading this, I've been trying to clear up the difference in the UK between Sherbet and Sorbet with someone who learnt American English:
What is the name for fruit-flavoured ice, and what is the name for fizzy white sugar-powder in the States?)
