I generally keep mine within 42 units of distance from my person at all time. It's less restrictive that way.

A super intelligent race invented a computer to find out the meaning of life. A million years later the computer came up with an answer, but he coul'nd answer it so the computer made another computer that could. A million years later the computer came back with an answer; and the answer was 42. That's how the theory started.

The question is: what is the room number of the one and only man, who knows the truth?

If they were super intelligent they would have made sure that they had passed on the question ..

Lol, perhaps the question was 'How many years until Universal Armageddon?' "42."

Cheers

Well..... Every year there are 42 years remaining to Armageddon.... That sound a little weird...

EDIT: And it gets even more strange if you ask "What is 42 times 42?"

Hahaha, yeah, you're right, but then again you're proving that 42 can't be the answer to 'everything', since it's not relative enough to actually fit as an answer to everything. (whatever 'everything' may be).

That reminds me by the way, I've recently seen the movie Idiocracy, really cool and funny. Go check it out!

Cheers

Maybe that means there is no real answer to everything
But maybe everything is not every question you can ask but the number of dimensions in our universe or something we can not understand.... but if we can not understand it we can not understand the answer "42" too that is why we are wondering all the time what 42 means
