Mary Had A Little Lamb....
Paul Hughes
Some years ago, I had what I would consider to be a definitive list of "Mary
Had A Little Lamb" rhymes. You know the sort:
Mary had a little lamb,
She tied it to a pylon.
10,000 volts went up it's a**e,
and turned its wool to nylon.
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was black as coal.
Every time it farted,
soot came out its h**e.
Well, as it turns out I have lost this wonderful collection of rhymes and I
was hoping that you could give me some suggested replacements.
Any and all suggestions appreciated.
TIA

She took to bed with her to sleep.
The sheep turned out to be a ram
And Mary had a little lamb.
Mary had a little lamb,
she also had a bear.
I've often seen her little lamb,
But I've never seen her bear.
Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a duck.
She put them on the rocking chair
To see if they would get along together.
Mary had a little lamb
A little pork, a little jam.
A little toast, a great big roast
An ice cream soda topped with fizz,
And boy, how sick our Mary is.
Hickory, dickory, dock.
The mice ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
And the rest escaped with minor injuries.
Little Miss Buffet,
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider,
And sat down beside her
And said, "What's in the bowl, bitch?"

Mary had a little lamb,
She kept it in a bucket.
And every time the lamb got out,
the bulldog tried to put it back in again.

Mary had a little pig,
she kept it fat and plastered;
and when the price of pork went up,
she shot the little bastard.

We all know that the answer is 42
Well at least all the ones who have read the "Hitch Hikers Guide To The
Galaxy" that is.
And it is easy to tell which ones have read it. We are the only ones who
can look around the world today and NOT panic.

A Question was posed,
A race of beings was trying to find the answer,
The planet earth was designed to answer that question,
The meaning of life for these beings was to find the answer,
The answer was 42,
But what was the original question?

I've lost my copy of the Hitchhiker's guide, and I am beginning to panic
about it...
On a more serious note (D-flat...) I would recomend being over not

a really committed (!!??) Hitch hiker), and a television serial. I really
don't know which one I enjoyed more.
There was alot more detail in the trilogy, (all five books), but the T.V.
serial was brilliant.
The radio serial was as good as the t.v., but as I had seen the show before
I heard the show, perhaps my imagination had some visuals to place the
action. If you know what I mean.
For a real challenge, try and design the perfect Pan-galactic gargle blaster
when next given the free reign of a well stocked bar. We've come close,
but we can never remember the recipe...........

Earth 2 was built to find the question to the answer,
but was destroyed 7minutes and 45 seconds before completion
of the calculation.
The answer to the question to the answer at that point was:
"What is six times nine?"

I avoid panic by always wearing my Googleplex 5000 danger-sensitive
sunglasses. At the first sign of danger, they turn completely black,
thereby preventing me from being aware of said danger, and thus
preventing panic. They ARE hideously expensive, however.

computer called Deep Thought was programmed. After 7 and a half million
years it announced that the answer was 42, so the beings who had created
the computer (who turned out to be mice) created a large organic
computer called the Earth to find the Ultimate Question to which the
answer was 42. Sadly, the original Earth was destroyed to make way for a
new hyperspace bypass just at the moment of readout...
Anyway, the 'Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy' started off as a BBC radio
serial, which was then made into a passable TV series. Well worth
watching.
Hope this helps

computer that could answer the most difficult questions you could think
of. They asked it what the meaning of life was and it said "42". This
made no sense so the aliens tried again but every time it said the same
thing, so they dumped it in space and went off to build an even bigger
and more complex computer to decode the answer. The computer they
abandoned was so advanced and intelligent that living organisms spawned
on its surface. That computer later came to be known as Earth.

Blerr! Thanks for playing. Mostly Harmless is DA's attempt to subtly tell
everyone to bugger off and leave me alone. By the end of Mostly Harmless,
there are *no* earth's remaining and the only possible survivor is The King!
(and perhaps Fenchurch, but then she was lost in some parallel universe).
IIRC, The book "Life, The Universe, and Everything" deals with the ultimate
question, but the random selection question comes in at the end of "The
Restaurant at the End of the Universe", when Arthur Dent is trying to help
the cavemen evolve.
The book with the backup earth was "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish".

constant, while the population is expanding?)

Deep Thought, and it spent millions of years thinking of the Answer to the
Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. Its computation
revealed '42'...
DEEP THOUGHT designed the computer which could give them the question...and
it was made by The Magratheans...and called Earth (Else why would

just happend to accidently inhabit the planet. They had no part (nor were
they designed to) in finding the question. If you remember Earth was
created to find the question to the answer of 42.

If you also remember, Ford and Arthur accidently transported into a starship
that was carrying a good useless third of the population of a planet.Eg, used
car
salesmen, dirty phone cleaners, bureaucrats etc.
A massive conspiracy had been concocted by the remainder of the population
with the aim of getting rid of this lot. A couple of stories abounded. One I
liked
that a giant mutant star goat was about to eat the planet. This useless lot
crashlanded on Earth millions of years ago and wiped out the original
inhabitants by burning the forests, converting leaves to currency, looking for
soap mines, etc. The original inhabitants of Earth apparently had the Answer
embedded in their consciousness, and were in the process of finding the
Question.
A massive cock-up had happened.
BTW, the remaining two-thirds of the population of the planet of origin of
these
wackos was wiped out because of bacteria on a dirty phone...
Geez, I've got to get a life...
