Forty-Two.

The meaning of life.

Many people do not understand how a number could really sum it up, but I am here to show you how to understand the complexities of 42. Some people say (and truly believe) that the meaning of life is Love. But, I ask, how could the purpose of life be love? If you were the only thing in existence, you could still be alive for a brief moment without air or gravity or anything to support you, And there would be nothing TO love. So love is not it.

Some (rather greedy, nasty) people believe that the meaning of life is power over others. But, I ask, how could that be the meaning? If nobody else existed how could you have power over them?

One person on an Island in the middle of lake Michigan thinks that the meaning of life is green jello. That man is crazy, so he doesn't count.

Many people from all over the universe ask the question of life and come up with answers of their own, which then are proven wrong by others who make up even more, and so it keeps going.

Frustrated by all this confusion, the great minds of the universe came together and developed a solution to this problem so people would stop asking and arguing over it. They had to think of something that couldn't be proven wrong.

They discovered the one thing that all had in common. The meaning of life was to search for the meaning of life.

The great minds weren't very happy with this, it made them feel very unimportant. Many of the great minds committed suicide or went insane.

The remaining great minds were worried about what would happen if the rest of the universe found out about this. It would be Chaos. So, the great minds counted up the number of dead or insane great minds, that had gotten messed up when they discovered the meaning of life.

The number was, Forty-Two.
