A:Eleanor's marriage to Henry was reputed to be tumultuous and argumentative, although sufficiently cooperative to produce at least eight pregnancies. Henry was by no means faithful to his wife and had a reputation for philandering. Henry fathered other, illegitimate children throughout the marriage. Eleanor appears to have taken an ambivalent attitude towards these affairs. Geoffrey of York, for example, was an illegitimate son of Henry, but acknowledged by Henry as his child and raised at Westminster in the care of the queen. B:If DNA testing was widely available at this time, would there be several children with "royal blood" who nonetheless lived as commoners and had different last names? Answer: mel

A:Douglas Adams's 1982 science fiction comedy novel "Life, the Universe and Everything" – the third part of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series – features the urn containing the Ashes as a significant element of its plot. The urn is stolen by alien robots, as the burnt stump inside is part of a key needed to lock the "Wikkit Gate" and secure the imprisonment of a world called Krikkit, to prevent any future crimes against the universe. B:If the cricket tournament managed to go off without a hitch, and the Ashes remained in the hands of one of the competing teams without ever leaving Earth, would the residents of Krikkit presumably be free to leave their planet?

A:Douglas Adams's 1982 science fiction comedy novel "Life, the Universe and Everything" – the third part of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series – features the urn containing the Ashes as a significant element of its plot. Extra-terrestrial robots manage to steal the urn, because the burnt cricket stump itself is actually part of the key that they need to unfasten the locked "Wikkit Gate" to free the world of Krikkit, that is imprisoned therein. B:Given that this is a comedy, and therefore would have a happy ending, would you say that the residents of Krikkit had likely been falsely accused of their crimes if the robots indeed managed to win The Ashes? Answer: mel
A:Douglas Adams's 1982 science fiction comedy novel "Life, the Universe and Everything" – the third part of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series – features the urn containing the Ashes as a significant element of its plot. The urn is stolen by alien robots, as the burnt stump inside is necessary to unlock an elaborate cosmic padlock (currently in storage), which is itself needed to be permanently secured on yet another layer of security known as the "Wikkit Gate" and prevent the potential liberation of an imprisoned world called Krikkit. B:Is it possible that the English author of this novel was making a commentary on the needlessly complex rules of cricket, by implying that judicial matters on the planet Krikkit likewise have lots of layers of redundancy and complexity (rather than just one all-important, key layer)?
