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

As you may know, h2g2.com has boldly gone where...okay, where millions on the internet have gone before.

We're on Twitter https://twitter.com/h2g2_Guide. We're on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Hitchhikers-Guide-to-the-Galaxy-Earth-Edition-341327959239272/. We're on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/h2g2_guide/. We toot our horns in the general direction of Planet Earth.

And we like to get noticed. One way to get noticed is the Meme, that sacred totem of the interwebs.

Recently, our posting of this link:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2bcFfMt6rGLTPpbG0yLwPw0/42-douglas-adams-quotes-to-live-by ...garnered 2.2k views on FB. 'Hey,' we thought. 'That's really cool. Wonder how we could keep this going?'

Enter the 42-item list meme. And we need your help.

In the handy thread provided below, please make suggestions for lists of '42...' that you would like to see.

The titles should be reasonably upbeat, such as:

42 Reasons the Earth is Mostly Harmless, or
42 Reasons Not to Panic

The Communications Team will choose the best themes, come back to you for further help, and post the finished lists on social media.

Then we'll all be galactically famous, right?

Thanks for your help!
