:) an anti-ultimate-answer? That makes _2_ scifi references

Actually to the Hacker’s Dictionary, in

No, *that*'s a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy :)
If you don't know that, you're not a True Hacker :)
:blush: I’ve never been able to get started with Douglas Adams’s work
(what a confession), so my primary reference for 42 is indeed the
Jargon File.
Well, now you have another reason to give it a try.
The audio version is the best; I first heard it on American NPR when I
was in grad school (many, many moons ago). That's a slightly edited
version of the original BBC broadcast. I saved that on cassette tape for
years, then finally bought the BBC version on CD. I like the American
version better! (possibly because I practically memorized it).
I like Stephen Fry audio version
