Awwwwwww... poor thing... I'm really sorry... Say I'm sorry for me would you...
Anyway, I never said there was something other than the painkillers - I'm sure they could have that effect!

After days, no, minutes of research into the human DNA eventually decoded the first chromosome and the following is just an extract of what the DNA meant.
Title: Human v42.0
Author: Technician 42
Date: 42/42/42
Notes: This wasn't really created it's just a bizarre coincidence to do with programming to find out the ultimate answer to the ultimate question which is if you were wondering [this section to be completed at a later date].
Bugs: Millions of errors so far if you find more don't report them as we don't care.

The REAL reason is that 42 is the number of times he had to write down Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that in happening causes itself to happen again, happens again. They don't neccesarilly do it in Chronological order though. Before he realised that the very same rule he was writing was applying to him.

In aninterview, the official reason for choosing 42 was... there is no reason! It was a joke! However, Douglas Adams did become a father at the age of... you guessed it - 42.
