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

there can be no argument. 42 is the answer. you just don't know the question properly yet. for instance it could be... what number is kung po chicken. or how the hell do i get to old farnley. or what is six times seven. more likely thought, is it is none of these and is something entirely more mystical and perhaps, yes, a little twisted. this mystic twist is best expressed by this NUMERICAL VALUE. it does not necessarily mean that all the little bits of this twist have to adhere to the laws which we know. no of course not. it's the answer to life, not just to the earth. don't be selfish share 42 with the universe. goodnight. ladies and gents, elvis has left this astral plane.
