Apollo 11 Moon Landing Revisited: Hoax ~vs~ Debunk

[Reformed Offlian]

Makes perfect sense to me. A smith makes stuff. Fabricates stuff.
Vixen fabricates numbers.

Hence the name fabricius!

What culture would interpret "hundreds of thousands of miles" as "millions of miles"? Who exactly were you trying to make things clearer to? Specifics please.

Hundreds of thousands as tens to hundreds of millions (if we're talking about Mars)

Vixen fabricates numbers.

How fitting…

Yes, the same team that restored an actual AGC. And a gate-accurate version. And he has also read out the core ropes of most of the existing defunct AGCs.

I appreciate that level of dedicated geekery, though I do not share it.
I think it's important that it should be facilitated because
(a) Such people might find something interesting or useful.
(b) We don't know what they might otherwise get up to

 

[Matthew Best]

But some Europeans (well, at least most one) think minutes and seconds are interchangeable.

FIFY.

Maybe she thinks Khan is listening in.

No, no, there's also Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings, from Sussex.

No, no, there's also Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings, from Sussex.

I'm old enough to have heard the real name on first broadcast.

https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Paul_Neil_Milne_Johnstone

Paul Neil Milne Johnstone (1952–2004) was a real poet who lived in Redbridge, Essex. Johnstone had attended Brentwood School with Douglas Adams and the two jointly received a prize for English. There Johnstone edited a broadsheet, "the Artsphere Magazine," that included mock reviews by Adams as well as Johnstone's own poetry. Johnstone won an exhibition to study at the University of Cambridge (as did Adams).

His name was used by Adams as the author of the worst poetry in the universe in the original radio broadcast, though this was changed to Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings for all subsequent versions of Hitchhiker's.

I used to know a bloke who was actually called 'Sussex'. (In Sussex.)

It would take her at least 0:13 to explain it, and who has that kind of time?

 

[PSXer]

13 degrees?

13 degrees?

...of separation.

13 degrees?

I'm sure Vixen has at least 13 degrees worth of education on this subject.

To whom it may concern.
You wouldn't have lasted a month as my accountant. As a 'numbers' person, you make far too many mistakes and refuse to acknowledge them until very heavily pressed. As a matter of fact, you wouldn't have made it through the first monthly meeting with me. And I was as easy going a gaffer as you could imagine. Nothing wrong with making a mistake, it's your pig-headed stubbornness that would see you red carded.

Edward?

That's more than two whole Bacons!

 

[The Common Potato]

Edward?

Sussex was his actual first name. He was named after the Sussex regiment.

Could have been worse.

<browses list of regiments> First the Queens in honour of the Dragoon Guards would have got him in a few fights at school.
