h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It is already well documented that THE QUESTION is, "what do you get if you multiply six by nine?" nad THE ANSWER is "42". It is equally well documented that this is, in fact, TRUE when using base 13.
What we should now be discussing IS............








WHY IS THE UNIVERSE BASED ON THE NUMBER 13(decimal)?


Answers on a post card only, to.....

the question is "what is 4+2?" the universe is just really stupid.

Because Mary Poppins said so

i want my mommy

Mary Poppins may be your mother. She had 13 childen with 13 different men, the 1st when she was 13 were triplets.

Didn't anyone ever tell her about safe sex?

The Poppins family were risk takers. Just listen to the music. The small matter of an exposed cerfix was never a factor. One benefit of this large family was they were able to command all the best busking spots

Mary Poppins was quite the ladies' man.

Don't be sexist - the ladies person. Anyway she was only unfaithful to her boyfriend 42 times with 13 different men

That's an average of only three times per man. She must be quite the prude.

a rude prude, fascinating, reminds of
A limerick writer named Clive
Had trouble counting to five
So after line four
He wrote nothing more

do we have shades of red ***** creeping in

are you sure its not a random dream in an erotic tennis ball

BLANK

well obviosly

VERSE

I've got it!
Another time wasting post!
4+2=6.
4-2=2.
6*2=12.
And of course, 12 is the difference between 6*9 in base thirteen (42)and 6*9 not in base thirteen (54).

I am in awe. I thought the answer was Mary Poppins sang the same 13 songs 42 times in six languages using seven dialects on the 13th June, 1942 just before it started raining

Ah yes, loonytunes! You DID make it! You survived! Had begun to get worried you might have gotten lost

Opps, sorry loonytunes. Thought you were someone else. They left another forum on a quest to read ALL entrys in this one about 6 hours ago and hasn't been seen since. Somehow that's not suprising!
