Fred or anyone else,

What is the answer to the Utimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

M.

[teach1st]

D.) None of the above.

[Aunt Tuffie]

No offense, teach1st, but it's a short response question (http://globegate.utm.edu/~dmiles/exit42/answer.html).

The answer to the Utimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is frequent sex, mild laxatives, and liberal use of duct tape.

And, of course, 42.

Very good, Aunt Tuffie,

The first time it took 7.5 million years to reach this Great and Hopefully Enlightening Answer.

So long and thanks for all the fish,
