42

Yup, another boring day of summer. Nothing to do, but sit here and type. About what? Nothing really, just whatever pops into my head. Broccoli (it was the first thing I thought of). Well it's later, so I may as well explain the number 42.

To all of those who have read/seen the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, you may stop reading now.

To all of those who haven't read/seen the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, you may find it helpful to do so.

So, the number 42. The answer to the ultimate question. What is the ultimate question you ask? who knows. After all, it is just fiction. And, it is just a number. six times seven. 50 minus eight. Anyway you think of it, it's a number. But to me, it's a symbol. A symbol of life. I know, it sounds a bit odd, but what else but a number? There are things that represent peace, war, happiness, and everything inbetween. Except for life.

So whenever I see the number 42 pop up randomly anywhere in the universe, it brings a smile to my face. I dont really know why and even if I did it would probably take much too long to type it all out.

So, there I leave it. If you have any questions (which I suspect you do), read the book. If you're not the type of person who either has enough time to read it or just doesn't like reading, watch the movie. You dont have to take anything from it, just watch it.
