Hello everyone, I know that a lot of us on this list enjoy a really good question. In preparation for my 42nd birthday coming up in January (I will explain the significance of this in a minute), I am asking all my friends and colleagues to share their favourite or most wicked question with me. I will gather these all together and share them back by the end of January. So please, if you have a beloved or belovedly vexing question, email it to me at HYPERLINK "mailto:we...@xe.net" we...@xe.net before January 15th and join in the celebration of wondering.
The significance of 42. For those of you who have read Douglas Adam’s “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” no explanation is necessary. For those who haven’t, a part of the plot involves a super intelligent race of beings who design a computer to find out the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. After about 4 million years of waiting, the computer produces the answer: 42. The folks are understandably a bit upset at this and demand an explanation. The computer responds that the answer is unsatisfying because they don’t actually know what the ultimate question is. So it designs another bigger computer to produce the ultimate question that will make sense of the answer. The computer it designs is the Earth and we are part of the program—sort of. So I am doing my part to help us all uncover the ultimate question SYMBOL 74 \f "Wingdings" \s 10 Looking forward to your replies, Thank you for playing with me, Wendy Wendy Farmer-O'Neil Prospera Communications & Consulting Services 1-800-713-2351 www.wordgravity.blogspot.com www.openspacesangha.blogspot.com No virus found in this outgoing message.
