    Not all things which are true in one logical direction are true in the reverse as well!

    Actually, 42 is the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything, but we never actually found out what the question was. Hmm.

    Actually, I think I've found the meaning of 42 and I've wanted to share it for years. I saw it one day on the #42 bus in Providence, RI. The bus has a scrolling screen that says "Providence via Hope" and it all clicked for me. That's the answer. Salvation/heaven/paradise/whatever-you-want by means of hope. There you go.
