How does the coastline help? I've never heard this explanation before.
- matt4077 10y agoIt may actually have a bit of truth in it: The fractal coastline allows for many more coastline properties than the straight coasts of, say, South Africa.
- pvdebbe 10y agoThe coastline is required to make a nice-ish reference to THHGTTG.
- erelde 10y agoAka more simply as H2G2, "the" and "to" aren't required in an acronym.
- doc_gunthrop 10y agoExcept nobody ever refers to it as "H2G2". Using acronyms already adds some degree of ambiguity; shortening a commonly used acronym makes it basically unrecognizable, even when used within the proper context.
- asavadatti 10y agoH2G2 is a pretty common acronym. In fact I've only heard it referred to as H2G2 or Hitchhiker's Guide.
- erelde 10y agoOn its wikipedia page its referred throughout as H2G2. H2G2 9 times HG2G 2 times HHGTTG 2 times
- samirillian 10y agoIt's a Douglas Adams joke.
- harryh 10y agoHeh, OK. I got the Douglas Adams reference. I just thought there was something beyond the joke. I guess not though.
- jack1243star 10y agoI thought it refers to the scenery, which aids tourism.
- Kiro 10y agoIt's a joke but the fjords of Norway are among the most amazing things in the world. Simply seeing them would increase my mood.
