Arctura

Mark Steadman, Danny Smith and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. This week, it’s everything Arcturan.


Arcturan megadonkey


A four-legged beast off which Deep Thought could talk all legs. Of. In that vein, we discuss the things we’ve persuaded people to do.


Arcturan megafreighter


A mode of transport which Zaphod hitches aboard. Here, Jon and Danny share their worst travel stories.


Arcturan megagin


Three cubes of which are added to panhgalactic gargleblaster. Here’s what it might look like, and here’s an Instructables piece on the ingredient.


Arcturan megagrasshopper


Used as a comparative phrase, as in “ankle-high to a…”, so we discuss some of the Dad-based anachronisms from our past.


Arcturan megaleach


Another large animal that should be small, but since it’s spelt “leach” not “leech”, we falsely accuse Danny of emptying our wallets on nights out. Read Passport to the Pub, the guide to British pub etiquette.


Arcturan stunt apples


A squadron of which would have put Sir Isaac Newton out of commission, and thoroughly hammered home the concept of gravity.
