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

this is, of course, totaly impossible as (as mentioned in the related forum) even two sugars in a nice cup of tea seems to be too much for some.

actually it's me. a 120 mph motorcicle accident, you see. happily enough, i have only bruised my upper arm.

thank you for your concern

You're totally welcome for the concern, sorry to hear about your accident!

obviously you have mastered this art befor posting your message

Zachsmind,...I went to the"Subsite"......I don't think I wanna' open that one. I'm afraid my PC would violently explode! (Not to mention my e-mail box)

Now why did my last two entries(I tried twice to get it right) wind up in an area no where near their intended target?

Why post in twice?

Take a look at the hitch hikers guide when Ford and Arthur are on prehistoric Earth. When he pulls rocks out of the bag he gets "what do you get when you multiply six by nine?" This is quite obviously not 42! Arthur obviously doesn't know any maths!

The number is 42.

The reason: Earth is "Intel Inside" and runs MS Earth 2000BC.

Thank god for the FDIV bug

The point is if "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?" is the ultimate question and the ultimate answer is 42, it just proves that the universe doesn't make any kind of sense.

It's because Arthur is decended from the alian lunitics and the cave men. That why he was upset.

Actually i think it sound better.

What do you get if you multiply six by nine? 42

A good excuse to fail maths this morning?

You obviously don't understand, Himble.

Oh great.. I got my Maths GCSE in two days, and all i can think about is whether 6X7=42 or 6X9=42!!!! Thanx a lot people....

Would you explain it to me then please.

I can explain the forty two fifty four thing. Because mankind replaced the fintle woddle wix (or something) people, the whole process of working out the answer was up doo doo creek without a paddle (or a boat) from the very start. If Arthur had got the correct answer in his brain waves, when he drew the answer from the scrabble bag, the whole universe would have diappeard and replaced with something more complicated. The six by nine thing is just to prove the answers wrongness further.

And I still think it's death and taxes.

No, it isn't, it only depends on the size of the cup.

Is it possible the whole Universe could have been derived from a small piece of string?...





No, thought not.

String? I very much doubt it. Everyone knows the Universe was the Universe was sneezed out of the nose of the Great Green Arklseisure, now let's here less of this string business shall we...
