42 ... The ultimate answer to everything

@ElwoodBlues I quote him when talking about vegan Sheese.

[quote]It tastes almost, but not quite, entirely unlike cheese...[/quote]

@SW-User Remember the cow at Restaurant at the End of the Universe?

[quote]"Something off the shoulder perhaps?" suggested the animal, "braised in a white wine sauce?"

"Er, your shoulder?" said Arthur in a horrified whisper.

"But naturally my shoulder, sir," mooed the animal contentedly, "nobody else's is mine to offer."

Zaphod leapt to his feet and started prodding and feeling the animal's shoulder appreciatively.

"Or the rump is very good," murmured the animal. "I've been exercising it and eating plenty of grain, so there's a lot of good meat there."[/quote]

@ElwoodBlues I remember Hotblack Desiato spending a year dead for tax purposes :P

@Glossy True.. And in there somewhere was a movie and a commuter game 🤗

@walabby I was busy recovering from some particularly bad vogon poetry... All 12 volumes!

@Sazzio ... and hitchhiking ..

@Sazzio A race of people called the Magratheans decided to build a computer to answer the ultimate question:

[quote]“O Deep Thought computer," he said, "the task we have designed you to perform is this. We want you to tell us...." he paused, "The Answer."
"The Answer?" said Deep Thought. "The Answer to what?"
"Life!" urged Fook.
"The Universe!" said Lunkwill.
"Everything!" they said in chorus.
Deep Thought paused for a moment's reflection.
"Tricky," he said finally.
"But can you do it?"
Again, a significant pause.
"Yes," said Deep Thought, "I can do it."
"There is an answer?" said Fook with breathless excitement.
"Yes," said Deep Thought. "Life, the Universe, and Everything. There is an answer. But, I'll have to think about it."
...
Fook glanced impatiently at his watch.
“How long?” he said.
“Seven and a half million years,” said Deep Thought.
Lunkwill and Fook blinked at each other.
“Seven and a half million years...!” they cried in chorus.
“Yes,” declaimed Deep Thought, “I said I’d have to think about it, didn’t I?"[/quote]

@OldBrit And the diodes all down my left side are aching🙄

@ozgirl512 loved Marvin

@OldBrit perfect robot...too depressed to try and take over lol

@bijouxbroussard It's a famous book called the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which was published 42 years ago by the late Douglas Adams, who was from the town I grew up in. 42 is (apparently) the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything.

@SW-User Oh, okay. I’ve heard of the book, but from a long time ago. 🙂

@bijouxbroussard It's seriously funny and well worth a read!
