Welcome to Jolt Country BBS where history's bravest explorers and leaders will be called out as abacus-needing douchebags!

I should point out that, after the Greeks figured out the world was round in Classical times, Europe never "forgot" this fact. That anyone of any repute thought the Earth was flat in the Middle Ages is as much a myth as... well, the Earth being flat.

So what about Columbus? Well, he was a complete douchebag, and horrible at math. No one would fund his trip, not because they thought he'd fall off the end of the Earth, but because they thought that the distance around the world (which they had calculated fairly accurately) would be too far for his ships to sail without running out of food and water. And they were right: If the New World hadn't been there, Columbus and company would have all died of dehydration somewhere in the antipodes.

As far as what the Mesopotamians who were largely responsible for the Bible thought about the shape of the Earth... well, I'm not sure.

And that everything circled the earth, Including Orson Wells.

Ok, so all I have to say about god and his pathetic bible, is how can you believe anything written or "said" by people that though the world was flat?

We miss ya, Loafie.

If I am wrong I will personally take it upon myself to write another fucking novel because he cannot leave it with Mostly Harmless, I will dig him back up reserect him and kill him again if that is the case.

"Salmon of Doubt" contains an unfinished Dirk Gently story... and a bunch of other stuff of his. That was released well over a year ago.

Hadn't heard that there was a HHGG novel in progress when he passed away. This is good! This is news! This is... well, yeah, good news.

Incorrect he died last year while working on another, and his publishers said they were going to clean it up and publish it. Since, I have been waiting patiently....

Doug Adams died last year. 'Mostly Harmless' is to be the last, sadly

Well the babelfish proves god's existence, and since god can only exist by faith and the babel fish is a dead give away "Oops" says god, and dissapears in a puff of logic.
(A horribly paraphrased excerpt from THGTTG)

Does anyone know when the last Hitchiker's Guide book is coming out?

Hehe, good stuff.

[color=red][b]BenMustard[/b][/color]: No. -8
[color=lightblue][b]IceCreamJonsey[/b][/color]: What did I pick? Not the chicken, not the pizza, not the burger... but the key lime pie

[color=lightblue][b]IceCreamJonsey[/b][/color]: It's a good thing I had a twisted knee and sprained ankle or I would have gotten shit for it

[color=lightblue][b]IceCreamJonsey[/b][/color]: Anyway, it's the same thing with God
[color=red][b]BenMustard[/b][/color]: Did you get a little candle or umbrella with that?
[color=lightblue][b]IceCreamJonsey[/b][/color]: When I find myself in complete despair and have all the options in the world to me on what to do or who to blame or how to react...

[color=red][b]BenMustard[/b][/color]: Goodtimes, though.
[color=lightblue][b]IceCreamJonsey[/b][/color]: Yeah.
[color=lightblue][b]IceCreamJonsey[/b][/color]: I liked the Andwrongmeda bit.
[color=red][b]BenMustard[/b][/color]: I like the Robotron bit.
[color=lightblue][b]IceCreamJonsey[/b][/color]: Yeah, but both of those bits were yours.

I would expect God to be so prompt though. So it gets points for accurately portraying how God would post.

That joke, however still unoriginal, was better in Lurking Horror.

He's got you there, Nietzsche.

Nietzsche is dead.

God is dead.

[quote="Worm"]Well, my holy book is the old NES cart Nemo in Dreamland. Not only does Nemo exist and save all our souls ... there was a movie that proves it.[/quote]

So, would you say you've Found Nemo, then?

And Almighty God said...

Nothing you idiots, God is dead! He's locked in my basement!

With the current Deity, social, economical, and political policies are in direct cohesion with that which has been facilitated.

Score?
