I've recorded the first four. One of them will be available for download very soon (hopefully in the next 24 hours, assuming my new shop software goes live). There'll be two free ones and two paid-for ones available by the end of the month :)

My theory is that it'll be a lot easier to get an agent when I can say 'I've already had 5,000 people downloading my stories'. So... All I need now is to get several thousand people downloading my stories!

The whole point of a yawn is to draw more air into the lungs.

No lungs means no yawn.

/The More You Know blog

(Seance Trumpet has got no beef with a man enjoying a croissant, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:09, archived)

That is not what a yawn is for

that is what breathing is for. And fish do yawn, everything with a backbone does, except for giraffes (special adaptations to their respiratory system).

Nobody knows what yawning is for really (as in primary function), though there is some evidence supporting the notion that yawning improves vigilance. It might do this by cooling blood going to the brain by drawing cooler air over the larynx which is fully aducted during a yawn: greater surface area and cooling. This might be different for fish, but they do yawn, honest.

There is also the social yawn, but I won't bore you with that :-)

Sickipedia stand up comedy night

A pub in Shoreditch, London got in touch a few days back and asked if we wanted to do a Sickipedia stand-up comedy night.

First I thought, "god no" then I thought fuck it, let's do it.

My plan is to do it like an open mic thing - and get people who fancy giving it a go a chance. 5 minutes each and I'll introduce the acts - and the act that goes down the best will get a bottle of wine or something.

Tuesday evening - 10th of Nov 2009

If you're interested in doing a turn then post on this thread or email me on robmanuel at gmail dot com

Question:

In the infinate nature of mercurial suffering endured by the constant malignant cursing of dichometic proposals, viz; the chicken and the egg, do you consider there to be parts of the mind in which we should not tread, or to do so, only with a humourous backbone? If the affermative, is this the latent fear of a greater being, or a source of spiritual power, magical power, what you will - but essentially a greater force? If not, are the archaic searches one might imagine to discover, whether by wit or wisdom, to propogate therories (however frivolous) for the sense, nay, meaning of excistance, merely corroborating long-standing views of the greater being, even if you yourself deny such a thing? Alternatively, is a dimensional thing, do you think? If all that's a bit too much - what's your favourite colour.

I hope more for the first. Like the novel of 'The Starship Titanic' Douglas took a loose strand and expanded it into a computer game and Terry Jones did the novel so DNA could get on with writing/creating the game and it's wonderful dialogue but it was still imbued in the HHGTTG universe.

Jim finds himself in the central plaza of a small South American town. Tied up against the wall is a group of twenty people – most terrified, a few defiant – in front of several armed men in uniform. The man who appears to be in charge sees Jim, and, establishing that he is in the town purely because of his membership of a party of botanists and not some interfering do-gooder, explains that the detainees are a random group of the local aboriginal tribe who, after recent acts of protest against the government, are about to be shot to remind the rest of the tribe of the advantages of not protesting. However, since Jim in an honoured visitor from abroad, the captain is happy to offer him the privilege of shooting one of the detainees himself. If Jim accepts, then as a special mark of the occasion, the other detainees will be set free. If Jim refuses, there is no special occasion, and all will be killed. Jim quickly establishes that schoolboy fantasies of grabbing the gun and heroically setting free the captives are not an option. Moreover, the detainees understand the offer, and are obviously begging him to accept.

I read the intro you wrote for the kids edition of hitchhikers where you basically say who are goodies and who are baddies

Did you really think that the book was so complicated that it needed that level of dumbing down? Do you and your publishers think that your normal target audience aren't intelligent enough to follow the book and make up their own minds?

Secondly, how do you feel about someone (maybe even someone you don't think too highly of) possibly taking the characters you've created and telling the world what "officially" happened to them next after your death? I would imagine most authors held their creations very dear, are you the same? or is publishers money just that great a thing?

But I will be at the door of the shop when it opens on the 12th to buy a copy.

Thank you for taking this on.

True story: In the late Eighties, I sold Douglas Adams a (then impressive) 40Mb hard drive for his Mac...

I was so star-stuck and over-awed I didn't take the opportunity to chat to him and never told him how much his books meant to me.
He looked like he was in a hurry, and I didn't want to be a needy fan. I regret it to this day...

I know the BBC radio show got around the characters deaths....

at the end of Mostly Harmless by claiming that it was a quirk of those born in the Z-plural zones, thus providing the happy ending where everyone appeared back at Milliways for cocktails rather than the stark fact that all the main protagonists were in fact deceased by the end of DNA's last foray into that particular storyline, thus neatly tying up all the loose ends.

However, this thread of questions has gone on for quite some considerable length, so aren't you bored of listening to me by now?

Do you intend to write the book naked?

(As Terry Jones did writing Starship Titanic).

Also, do you feel that the many different versions that Douglas Adams created free you from being overly stingent in maintaining a consistent (er... "canon"[possibly no such thing in HHGTTG]) book in his style, and do you worry about making it too aimed at existing fans and risking alienating new readers?

What's your favourite bit in the original books, and why?

Mine is when the characters are eating a sumptuous meal with the mice on Magrathea. The mice try and get serious and say, "to business", which is followed by Ford and Zaphod leaping up, clinking glasses and exclaiming "to business!", because they thought it was a toast.

I like it because the mice are trying to broach the subject of dicing Arthur's brain, but Ford and Zaphod are entirely focussed on drinking and having a good time.

I'm sure you enjoyed hearing my opinion there...

Here's another one for you...

Tom Hanks is drilling a hole through the wall of the men's changing room in Topshop when he discovers an ancient scroll that describes the location of a secret document which proves that the Bible was written entirely by the Roman emporer Caligula after eating a load of cheese too soon before he went to bed and which fell into the hands of catholic extremists who have hidden it up Ewan McGregors bum and then sent him to live in a monastery in Italy and they have cloned him so there are like three hundred of these Ewan McGregor clones and in order to find the document Tom Hanks has to bum all of the Ewan McGregor clones in turn but then his knob falls off from all the bumming so he has to use his tongue instead.

I've literally got hundreds more of these, if you are interested then get in touch and we can talk business.

Ok, one more then.

Dan Brown and Tom Hanks are two gay lovers who get married and go on their honeymoon to Israel and while they are there they find a gideons bible in their hotel room that has a spelling error in the copyright information which turns out to be a clue that leads them to a secret tomb which they have to get to by climbing into a toilet in the Jerusalem branch of McDonalds and as they are climbing down the toilet someone does a big poo on them and then they find themselves in an underground sewer and they're all covered in poo and wee and then the sewage level starts to rise and they need to find the key to get out but the Quakers have hidden the key up Ewan McGregors bum and he has explosive diarrhoea.

I admit that I only got a C in my English GCSE but hopefully you will be able to see past the few spelling and grammatical errors I have undoubtably made and realise that these could be some of the best selling works of fiction of all time.
We're talking bigger than the Bible here.

Thank you! I've always wanted to write plays.

I would be grateful if you could cast your eye over this script I'm currently working on.

NARRATOR: Our story begins in London, England. The famous author Mr Daniel Brown is driving to see his friend Tomothy Hanks about a matter of grave importance. Unfortunately as he arrives at Mr Hankses house a cat runs out in front of his car. Daniel slams on the brakes, and is catapaulted through the windscreen.
ENTER DAN BROWN, STAGE LEFT, FLYING THROUGH THE AIR BUM-FIRST.
TOM HANKS IS SITTING ON A CHAIR. HE TURNS AND HIS JAW FALLS OPEN WITH AMAZEMENT AS DAN BROWN FLIES TOWARDS HIM. DAN BROWN LANDS ON TOM HANKSES HEAD WHICH GOES RIGHT UP HIS BUM.
TOM HANKS: (MUFFLED) "What is the meaning of this?"
DAN BROWN: "I'm terribly sorry, there was a cat. I had come here to tell you about a matter of grave importance!"
TOM HANKS: (MUFFLED) "Can it wait until we've got my head out of your bum?"
DAN BROWN: "I'm afraid not, you'll just have to wear me as a hat for now. I'll explain what's going on in the car."
EXIT STAGE RIGHT TOM HANKS WEARING DAN BROWN AS A HAT.
NEXT SCENE: TOM HANKS IS DRIVING WHILST DAN BROWN GIVES DIRECTIONS
DAN BROWN: "Are you okay in there?"
TOM HANKS: (MUFFLED) "It's not so bad now I'm getting used to it, and at least you're keeping my head nice and warm. So, you were going to tell me what this matter of grave importance was?"
DAN BROWN: "Mmm? Oh, yes, of course, how could I forget? I was listening to the news earlier and apparantly some extremist Jehovah's Witnesses have broken into that secret warehouse from the end of Indianna Jones, stolen the Ark of the Covenant and hidden it... UP EWAN MCGREGORS BUM!!!"
TOM HANKS: (MUFFLED) "I should have guessed. Thosed damned religious fanatics are always stealing priceless religious artefacts and hiding them up Ewan McGregors bum."
DAN BROWN: "And what's worse is that I've discovered that they plan to use it to MELT THE POPE'S FACE!!!"

As you can tell, it still needs several more minutes of work on it, but I was wondering if you would be interested in commissioning the entire play?
