42 is answer to the “Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything” from the supercomputer Deep Thought, specially built for this purpose. It took Deep Thought 7.5 million years to compute this answer.

More importantly it is the number of days until Christmas 2025.

Let that sink in!


Was also my age when I arrived on this site. 😲

I better start shopping then. Man it sure comes around quickly doesn’t it. I mean Xmas not the 7.5 million years it took Deep Thought to figure that out. It may have thought too long.🤔

In Japanese 42 (Shi-ni) sounds like the word for dying…in Japanese.

Trivia fact:-
All words in the Japanese language when translated into English end with a vowel or the letter "n"
I can't think what "Trev" would translate as but probably something uncomplimentary.

These days the kids are saying "six seven" and nobody knows what they're up to (according to some reports).

Oh, that's interesting. I thought you were in your 30s or maybe early 40s.

Well, now it's completely understandable that from time to time you might try to get other people to behave, because that's what men of a certain age do.

One imagines you arrived in style.
