Meaning of life baby...

....to pee, to climb, and to never look down.

...or maybe it's to pee, to look down, to realize the guy you just pissed on can kick your @ss, and to climb as fast as humanly possible.

hmmm, maybe that's it.

I'll say coca cola.

coca cola brings meaning to your life?

man, you must have a mean life :)

If 42 is the universal answer......
Why don't people use it on Jeopardy,
At least then something on the show would be better than Alex's stupid comments.


P.S.- The guy below you can only whup on you if he catches you....

Ain't you guys ever read Hitchhiker's Guide? ...and all of its sequels?

42 is the apartment number of the building where the past and present loophole through each other, and eventually are destroyed.

Heh Heh ... and you thought you guys didn't have lives.

the meaning of life? yeah as if life has a meaning!!!! (uncontrollable laughter)

...What is 6x9?

I prefer the electric Monk climbing the building....

No, no, no, the meaning of life is clearly sandwich making. But since there are no Perfectly Normal Beasts on Earth, we will never be able to achieve true happiness...

BTW, does anyone know when DA's next one is due?

And are Douglas and Terry Pratchett the same person? We are having a fierce debate about this. The writing style is EXACTLY the same.

The real meaning of life is of course explained best in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". The Title says it all.

I have read all the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy books and they rock!!! So does a book called red dwarf very similiar. Monty python and all his movies, shows, and games kick ***!!!! As for the meaning of life well it's to play games, insult others, and most importantly to rule the universe!!!! which I hope I will someday (obviously I won't! DUH!!!!)

How odd of The Fat Egg refering to Monty Python as a person :rolleyes: . Perhaps he should go to http://www.monty-python.com . If you like the Red Dwarf books you should check out the TV show.

THANKS for clearing that up!!!

Always glad to help.

one word: BEER

Beer?

Actually, perhaps the meaning of life is to watch Dr.Strangelove over and over. It's a very funny movie about a comedic end to the world!!!

The meaning of life? All life is, is some giant soap opera that G-d watches and laughes his @ss off at the stupid humans. SO I say, as long as we are to be the butt of some huge divine joke, we might as well give him something BIG to laugh about. Personnally, I like the old Roman idea of mass orgies after dinner every day.

As far as I know, "Mostly Harmless" is DA last book, as Arthur kind of, well, dies.
If you haven't read this book, sorry, hate to ruin your life.

HEY, THE MEANING OF LIFE IS TO MAKE OTHERS' LIVES MISERABLE! I JUST REALIZED THAT!

Well, yeah Arthur dies :(, but there are parallel universes aren't there? And what about a sequel with Zaphod as the main character or even Marvin?

Hey Fat Egg, I picked up a couple of the Red Dwarf books on ebay on your recommendation. I haven't read them yet, but if I'm not happy you owe me $5 :p

Since we are speaking of English Satirists, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is very very similar to Douglas Adams, only fantasy based instead of science fiction. In fact he is so similar that for a long time I was convinced that he WAS Douglas Adams.

Terry Pratchett? Oh God, not him.

What's wrong with Terry Pratchett?

I think he's pretty funny....

[This message has been edited by Lord Balduran (edited August 06, 2000).]

Terry Pratchett is awesome, read some of his work before. As is Adams, Grant, and Naylor.

So, the answer is 42, huh?

Well, then what's was the Question?

BTW, both DA and TP are xtremely cool..or is it weird??

[This message has been edited by Darqnezz (edited August 15, 2000).]

The question is "What do you get when you multiply 6 x 9"

In Mostly Harmless, The address of that night club, (the Beta thing), is 42. I assume that it is on the corner of 6th and 9th.

But we all know that assume makes an *ss out of u and me.

I agree with the Hooligan, Pratchet is now ****. He started off good, but he's not any more. And in defense of David Eddings' novels, they're funny book's with a great story. The sequal series' are never as good as the first, but hey, you can't have everything.
I'd recommend them, as well as David Gemmel book's, to anyone who want to read fantasy as it should be. It's a pity that a lot of the TSR novels I've read haven't been as good.

Terry Pratchett kicks ass! =)

*****Immature South Park Joke Alert*****

Terry Pratcett DOES NOT kick arse...he does something else to arse, yeah...

Robert Rankin (nice name) is a really good auther, btw

Vermillion: Pratchett is now ****???
Dude, his later books are BRILLIANT!
Carpe Jugulum is a masterpiece, and so is The Last Continent.
And Interesting Times is the best he's ever written.
I would also like to add that I just don't like Eddings all that much. i don't know, there's only so much "Aunt Pol" I can handle.

and to all you X-File fans, Mulder's apartment number is 42. hmmmmmmmmm...

Yes I have read his later books. Against my better judgement, but I did. Why do you think I can still give an opinion on him? And yes, there is only so much "Aunt Pol" people can handle, but the story was so good that it made the "Aunt Pol"'s tolerable. It's probably always said in a whiny voice too. It's the voice I've alway's imagined Garion has.....

Lets put it straight! The answer is 42! Arthur says so! It came out of him and Ford did the equation! Get it right! 42 is the answer...pity earth was destroyed by the bogons!

42, alright. No doubt about it.

Too funny! The number I've always had on my hockey sweater is 42...I've always liked that number for some reason, now I'm wondering if all these subconscious references to 42 have something to do with it!

And I always thought I was being original.

Weren't they vogons? If you were ever to meet a vogon, you would wish you had never been born. Or, if you were thinking more clearly, that the vogon had never been born. Or something like that...

WEEEEEE!!! Nothing like re-visiting old threads!

The Vogons only destroyed the Earth in one dimension! If you remember, at the end of "Mostly Harmless," the Vogon commander (can't remember his name), was thinking. He was thinking about how they had destroyed Earth like eleven times or something like that.

Remember, Arthur and (what's her name), were sitting on that interstellar airplane when (what's her name), disappeared. Maybe she didn't disappear, maybe he appeared somewhere parallel to where he was. In other words, he co-existed in the Space-Time continumumuuum (how do you spell that word?).

the number i had on my high school basketball team was 42, OH MY GOD IS THIS AN OLD THREAD!

who the hell dug up this crusty old thing?

I thought the question was "how many roads must a man walk down?"

Have some respect for old age, silly little monsterlings. This is the granddaddy of all topics that have ever been posted at Boards O' Magick. In fact, it is THE FIRST topic to have appeared on the whole boards back in June of 2000.

Someone needs to post one more time so that the number of posts matches the title... :)

Ok, I spam!

Btw, in a store I saw the BBC television series, does anyone know if it is worth buying ??

I suppose it depends how much they're charging.

I would go for the BBC radio series if you can get it. Truly classic (and of course the original version).

TV proggy was OK though, but like all these things, I find they get spoiled by having someone else's imagination determine how these people look etc, after I've read the books many times.

It´s available on 2 DVD for about 40 euro´s.

And I already have the complete BBC radioseries, of HHGTTG in Mp3 format.(as well as LOTR and The Hobbit).

I think I´m gonna give the DVD-set a try though...

One word--------RELATIONSHIPS

you've had 42 relationships? impressive, most impressive.

my parents live at no.43, kicked myself when i was younger that i didn't live next door (started reading douglas adams around the time we moved there). so used to visit the neighbours often... made me feel 'one with the universe'. (...okay, so the neighbour's daughter wasn't ugly) ;)

[deity edity for wolfy]: yeh, i used to wonder about that too. i lived on a corner, if that helps? (i don't think that should be something i boast about though) :grin:

[This message has been edited by the god (edited April 03, 2002).]

Butbutbut next door should be 41. 42 should be the house opposite?? :confused:

How?

No---NO, silly.

The meaning of life = Relationships

And not just the boyfriend/girlfiend---wife/hubby ones.

sheesh

Chocalate and computer games. Oh, and humor.

I came across a discussion comparing the customisable models in NWN to those in Dungeon Seige. The good folks at Bioware said they had to sacrifice things like boots, gauntlets etc. showing up on the model because of how many models they had compared to Dungeon Siege's 2 (Male and Female). Now, I got to thinking about just how many models there would be in NWN - 7 races (human, elf, dwarf, gnome, halfling, half-elf and half-orc), three builds (skinny, muscular and fat) and both sexes. That gives 7*3*2 = 42 different models, assuming they don't for example use the same model for male dwarves and female dwarves.

[Did you miss the forum or something? What's this got to do with the topic? And there are only two body types now. Normal and fat.] -Tal
[reply to edit - at the time I thought of it as another (faintly) amusing occurence of the number 42]

The photo of the bus on my bus-chart has number "42" on the window

Of a few hundred boxes in a mall I noticed I had almost always used the box with key number "42" attached when I shopped. Probably posps up even more often unnoticed.
