Deep thoughts...

Wasn't Deep Thought the giant supercomputer that took a generation or two to compute the answer to "Life, the Universe, and Everything?"


BTW, the answer was 42 if I recall.


Oh, Douglas..........the world lost a great man when you died!

Thought the question was "what is six multiplied by nine" Yeah, I know it doesn't come out, but wasn't that the point?

Actually, Deep Thought told them that perhaps they needed to build any even BIGGER supercomputer to figure out the question. That bigger computer was the earth. But alas, it was destroyed mere moments before revealing the answer (by a Vogon construcvtion ship to clear space for a hyperspace bypass).

"Seven and a half million years our race has waited for this Great and Hopefully Enlightening Day!" cried the cheerleader. "The Day of the Answer!"..."Never again will we wake up in the morning and think Who am I? What is my purpose in life? Does it really, cosmically speaking, matter if I don't get up and go to work? For today we will finally learn once and for all the plain and simple answer to all those nagging little problems of Life, the Universe and Everything!"

...the large computer terminal sat in sparkling glory on the desk's leather top, as bright as if it had been constructed yesterday.

..."Shhh...I think Deep Thought is preparing to speak!"

..."The Answer to the Great Question...Of Life, the Universe and Everything...Is...Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinate majesty and calm.

..."Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you have to show for seven and a half million years' work?"

"I checked it quite thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definately is the answer. I think the problem...is that you've never actually known what the question is."

"But it was the great question!..."howled Loonquawl.

"Yes," said Deep Thought with the air of one who suffers fools gladly, "but what actually is it?"

"Well, you know, it's just Everything..." offered Phouchg weakly.

"Exactly!" said Deep Thought. "So once you do know what the question actually is, you'll know what the answer means."

One of my favorite Jack Handy 'Deep Thoughts':

When I die, I want to go peacfully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like the passengers in his car.
