OK, there's a better class of Geek on this board so a little geeky quiz for you. I submit:

Exhibit A. a T shirt with the words "I believe!, Don't eat me"

Exhibit B. The following exchange. "Jesus", "actually no, the name is Gaia, Hillman Hunter"

I know many of you should know it, but how up to date are you???? Go too it geeks :)

"And another thing" is now the sixth book in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy. Douglas Adams the author of the first 5 book of the trilogy died in 2001. Eoin Coulfer (author of the massively popular Artimus Fowl series) took up the mantel and wrote 'And another thing" as a continuation of the series.

This delightfully geeky corner of the web is always making references to the H2G2 books in cryptic ways, this was my childish attempt to inform people that there was now a 6th book out. I'm loving it. Same characters, same silly plot line with interesting social commentaries on today's life to make you think. Plus lot's and lot's of geeky flash backs to the original books and other H2G2 lore.

Highly recommended by your official Brit.

It's a little late for me to do that, as you've already spilled the beans

It was the "Hillman Hunter" that did it for me, though - the fact that it was a car, but also a character name, combined with the fact I had never heard of such a car (leading me to believe it most likely british), led me in the right general direction. 3 minutes of googling later, and I had found the h2g2 entry on the sixth book.
