A Conversation for The h2g2 Monty Python Fan (Pythonist) Society
The Meaning of Life
jimbob_ii (hey, who turned off the lights?) Started conversation May 5, 2005
I am bored, so I think we should make an attempt to construct a viable hypothesis to explain the meaning of life. All contributions welcome (no serious suggestions please, this is a Pythonist establishment). All those without an 's' in their names need not apply. Unless they really really want to. And are definitely aware of the locations of their towels. JOIN IN!!

I'm in, but unfortunately I already *know* the meaning of life: It's 'a state of existance that is not death.'
Oh, you didn't want a definition? Crud...

No, I did not want a definition! I said 'no serious suggestions please' but you have more than one 's' in your name so I suppose that's ok. I'm going back under my rock now.

It wasn't intended to be a serious suggestion. I just don't have anything better at the moment. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta hit the track. I have my money on Queen Victoria in the Queen Victoria handicap.

..."do all philosophers start with an 's'?"
"yes...yes I belive they do..."
"like Nische"
"well that doesn't start with an 's'"
"no but it has an 's' in it..."

Especially not the green ones - they're not ripe yet.
But I think the Inconsequential Hoopy Frood may be right (I like you already!) as I am also of the opinion that the Meaning of Life is somehow related to cheese . . . possibly via barracuda and pnemonoultramicroscopicsilicavolcanoconiosis, I'm not sure.
Anyone agree, or have something equally stupid to suggest?

I think it depends what kind of cheese it is.
Do you have any Peruvian goats cheese?

What about a nice piece of Camembert?

jimbob_ii (hey, who turned off the lights?) Posted May 11, 2005
No, I don't stock Camembert, it smells funny. (sorry - that was totally unrelated to the sketch, but very poignant in the meaning of life. I suppose I am trying to say that life smells funny).

Back to the meaning of life which I think is to find the middle.
Is it too early to say "welcome to the middle of this thread"?
