Alright! This is where we can put on our monocles and pretend to stay stuff that is important and meaningfull. We we discuss philosophies and conspiracies related to The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Conspiracy #1:
The meaning to life the universe and everything is actually 42 but in order to discredit this fact the media is making it widely available.
Note: Nothing in this thread has to make sense. be serious or silly, whatever.

2. The question and the answer are mutually exlusive: only one can ever be known about any given universe
3. Schrodingers cat is neither dead nor alive, ergo 'mutually exclusive' things are not truly mutually exclusive
4. There is no spoon, ergo there is no cat
5. There is an answer to every question and a question to every answer
6. what is the sound of one hand clapping?

one of my friends had worked up an elaborate theory that the earth that Arthur comes from isn't the real earth. i can't remember how she explained it, or if she just quoted it from somewhere else, but the crux of the argument was that the fighter ships from frogstar B were grey.

So, your friend theorizes that Arthur is from the universe expressly created to keep Zaphod from dying in the Total Perspective Vortex? eek Freeeow. That is some heavy right there. I'd like to think that Ford's father was not the only person to survive the Collapsing Hrung disaster, but was in the bathroom at the time and when he came out, everyone was gone, having been rather improbably rescued by a snazzy white spaceship, which then dropped them off on an idyllic little planet where they bred with the locals and killed off a tribe of telephone sanitizers and other generally useless people. biggrin

tombrend Schrodinger's cat logic time! Ford's father was both the only one to survive and not the only one to survive Hang on, I've been misreading that... For the ultimate in awesomeness and Schroedinger's-catitude, it should read, "Ford's father was both the only one to survive and the only one not to survive." Subtle difference, but yeah. sweatdrop

The calculator will tell you the answer. He didnt know?!?! how couldnt he know, every other seemingly non-sensical thing in the guide actually had a meaning.. the resturant at the end of the universe is a commentary on the hipocrisy of vegetrainism, deeply philoshpical comments on God the nature of ones view of the universe and everything else is everywhere, I cant believe he didnt have a meaning built into What is 6x 9 =42. especially when its such an elegant answer.. sad smile still love him. always will, I consider him my teacher on how to dance with my philosophy teachers.
