42 again ?

Ever
since reading the holy
trilogy
soon to be
hexology
in my early teens, I have had a "secret" obsession with the number
42. My phone number begins with 4242, my license plate is 42, I
have a lot of
pictures
on flickr in the 42 group. Just
the other day I was playing around with twitter and discovered that
my twitter id ends with 4242. Coincidence? - Maybe, but the number
still carries a
very special meaning for me
and always will :-)
"Six by nine. Forty two." "That's it. That's all there is." "I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe" ((Douglas Adams (1 January 1980). The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.))
I look forward to the 6th book in the trilogy, and even though it won't be Douglas Adams' own words directly, I still believe Eoin Colfe ((He's even on twitter! - but then again who isn't)) will be able to capture the mood and the spirit of previous books in the series.
Don't forget your towel!
