What is the *question* to the Answer of Life (42)?

Capt. May · #1 20-07-2007, 08:08

Most of us are settled on knowing that the answer of life is 42.

However, for those that believe otherwise, please see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Answer_to_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything

So, if the answer to life, the universe, and everything, is 42... what was the question?

Has anyone got any good answers other than '21 x 2' or 'the square root of 1,764' etc.?

The question is: At what age do you quit seeking the answer to the Universe and simply relax and enjoy life?

If you take all the wolves it takes to savage a girl scout troop cooking s'mores around a campfire, subtract the seconds it takes for one renegade to abscond with the cute one and raise her as one of its own, multiply with the age of this girl when she rebels and runs away to work for "the man" in San Francisco, add the color of her hair in the afternoon moonshine and divide all that by the number of the bus she takes to visit her wolfmother in the wilderness...

You'll arrive at the square root of the DNA's secret code, the number of trick candles on the Universe's birthday cake, the mathematical formula for starshine and the infinitesimal limiting factor of the prime meridian...

Leave Fibonacci quivering on the sweaty sheets, Cantor reeling in a drunken stupor outside a dive bar in Monte Ray...When Leibniz and Newton settle things with an epic battle of the ego at the other end of the alley and the winner digs up ol' Fermat to finish his marginal notes...

The skeletal fingers of the newly risen undead will carve the simple tat into the twitching flesh of your breast...and it will read "42".

This comes from a book written by douglas adams R.I.P. entitled the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy where a man asks a computer for the answer to life the universe and everything the computer says 42.

It took 7.5 million years because it was probably running Windows and had to reboot every 42 hours.

Or, maybe that's the amount of Bill Gate's ultimate fortune that he'll get during his lifetime: 42 Trillion dollars.

It was "What is the ultimate answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything." That *is* the question.

As you said, it's 42. Which is my age, and my house number, so it must be true.

Additional: That's it, keep the thumbs down coming, you illiterate scum-bags who have never heard of Douglas Adams...

It is... What is the meaning of life?
How's that!

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

what is you choice

The answer to life is 'because'. the question is 'why'.

Yes, the answer is 42. By that age you should be happily divorced and have as much access to quality **** or ***** (depending on whether you're female or male) as you require. Oh yesum.
