A/N: Cheers for the great ideas, sorry that I can't use everyone's but I'll try to fit them in a bit, but they all gave me good starting points for other ideas. So, lovely random subjects…
Entry 25390000001: Camping
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of camping, avoid if at all possible, unless clean toilets, flat ground, warm night, dry weather, and chocolate are guaranteed. Though it does go on to say that if one should find oneself stuck in a tent for the night with no possible means of escape, you should be prepared for the worst.
Putting up a tent, it says, is well regarded as one of the hardest tasks in the universe (besides folding up a map), and there are many organisations who can help you cope with the trauma this induces (see what do to if you think you may be about to commit suicide). There is an art, or rather a knack to putting up a tent. Unfortunately there are no known beings who can do it efficiently, so don't panic if you can't.
When camping it is essential to bring: a tent; something to sleep on, or in, or under, or behind, or in front of, or wherever else you might like to sleep; food (unless you don't want to eat, or are a member of the Flatelligulum species and therefore will eat your own hats); a stove (unless you want cold food, in which case a stove is not necessary, but hats do often need to be cooked before ingestion); a bag (for storing the innumerable amount of things that are not on this list but that you will bring anyway) and a towel.
Entry 308112: Fruit Bowls
Fruit bowls, says the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, are generally used for storing fruit. But this may not always be the case… Fruit are defined as the produce of a flowering plant that has been killed for consumption by primitive life-forms trying to eat healthily. Therefore, the fruit bowl has become purely an object of nostalgia.
Take the banana for example; a long bent yellow fruit that is instantly recognisable in the portraits of famous fruit bowls. So much so that it has had to go into hiding to escape the millions of enthusiasts looking for its autograph.
Most fruit bowls are ornamental and can be bought around the galaxy in antiques shops, but there are a few shops that will still stock working fruit bowls. These are to be found on primitives planets like Earth and Aldebaran 2. However demand is high, so you might wish to join a fruit bowl society, many guarantee a good quality reproduction fruit bowl after 50 years of membership. More information can be found in the book Fruit Bowls Are For Life, Not Just For Christmas, which also provides a vivid insight into the live processes of a fruit bowl and its role in today's society - if that's what swings your boat.
A/N: A bit longer, but I'm sticking to 2 per chapter. Any more good ideas? Don't Panic if not, just as long as you're enjoying it ;)
