New Hitchhiker's Guide Book "Not Very Funny"

daria42 writes "An early review of part of the Eoin Colfer-penned sequel to Douglas Adams's Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy series has panned the book as not being very funny. If you read Hitchhiker to have a good laugh, maybe you're going to be disappointed," wrote Nicolas Botti, on his Douglas Adams fan site earlier this month."

    Also, the new /. appearance is very confusing. Why would you put a separation line *before* the link to the comments?

    Way offtopic, but I was just wondering the same thing. It's like they're trying to bookend the story, but possibly the most relevant part of the whole thing (the Read More link) is just hanging around outside the whole blocked off area.

    It is the same trick to get a dog or cat to take medicine, you put the medicine in meat or their food, and they eat it.

    Do you have a cat? Sticking medicine in their food is the best way to get them to stop eating at your house and to start raiding the neighbour's cat's food. The best way to get a cat to take medicine is to wear the Bear Suit, wrap the cat in a thick towel, scruff it behind the head, prise open the jaws. Then flick the pill down the back of the throat and hold their mouth shut.

    Hopefully the Bear Suit will have stood up to this, but there probably won't be all that much left of it afterwards
