And the Meaning of Life is...

aaargh...what a sucker i am

No more Monty Python! For the love of 42!

I don't think life has a real meaning. Like eg. oxygen, it just "is".

So 42 is a fine answer.

Correctly, 42 is not "The Meaning of life" in the Pythonesque sense, nor has it a thing to do with that crowd at all, it is The answer to "The Ultimate Question", as posed in the late Douglas Adam's Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe; 42 is The Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Now, The Meaning of Life indeed is a Python movie, and there is, among other treatments, a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe movie, but apart from format - they're both movies - the two are unconnected.

Well, not entirely unconnected - both are British, more or less (though the Hitchhiker movie was Hollywood-funded), and pretty much owe their existance to he BBC.

See yout at the Beta cafe.

Woa, I'm lost...
...This is why I'm not a philosopher


but the meaning of life is indeed 42 duh

Ye Gods! I appear to have stumbled onto an Alien Mind Scramblehole. A tear in the fabric of space so dense that all logic gets sucked into it, leaving only idiocy and a faint craving for buttered cabbage.


And here I clicked on this hoping for some meaningful pontificating. :wink:

Well I can believe the idiocy part, but buttered cabbage?
I hate buttered cabba-- I loove buttered cabbage...what?wait! that's not right!...cabbage, mmmmm....


I feel my senses have betrayed me

Meaningful pointificating... what the h*** are you doing on A2K?

From "the meaning of life"

Lady Presenter: [briskly] Well, that's the End of the Film, now
here's the Meaning of Life.

[An envelope is handed to her. She opens it in a
business-like way.]

Thank you Brigitte. [She reads.]... Well, it's nothing
special. Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a
good book every now and then, get some walking in and try and
live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds
and nations.




Quite simple actually.

(continued from above)
"And finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy which it seems is the only way these days to get the jaded video-sated public off their ******* arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment bollocks! What they want is filth, people doing things to each other with chainsaws during upperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats -where's the fun in pictures? Oh well, there we are - here's the theme music. Goodnight."

BTW this Monty Python clip is hilarious
