What do you think?

Who's the other Voter?

The meaning of life is...


...42

That's what I thought Deborah.

None of these

Actualy, no one knows the meaning, so I'll just write that it's about bieng happy

No, that's the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Just the meaning of life is probably (or improbably) likely to be less than 42

In any case does it have to have a meaning...or can we all proceed through it happy in our aimlessness. A meaning would imply some element of responsibility and I don't think I'm old enough for that yet

What do you mean?

Look it up in this handy guide book

You need This page

Well, I suppose we'll never know, as only the supreme leaders of the 10th and final universe know, and they will never tell.

By the way, the leaders who know are called the zigadoidz.

What is the point of Voting and then not adding a reply?

Approximately the same as replying without voting.
But not exactly.

You need another category: "To experience Noel Edmonds in all His glory".

I think the Zigadoidz will break their promise to time and tell someone else.

I've no idea, but I think having a good time while you're alive is the essence behind it. Do what you want and don't seek approval from others for what you do, because chances are most of the time they won't approve. Do what YOU want, and ENJOY!!!

Well unfortuately most people seem to feel like that so it's not likely there will be any life for there to find a meaning for sooner or later.

(Unless of course what you want to do is create a hole in the Fabric of time BEFORE the Great war, that gets the worst punishment possible, an eternity in the most secure Jail in your Universe.)

None of the above. Who says we're meant to understand it anyway? To serve G-d is good enough for me, and whatever that leads to will come as it does. It seems like a pretty good aim in life, what with Him having created everything and all that. Only fair.

People try to understand death, and to do that they try to find a meaning to life. But "who are we to understand death, if we cannot understand life"? One cannot come without the other, because when we understand one, the other will surely follow.

42 is the awnser - but what is the question....!

I refer you to my original link to the handy guide book and this page

I don't understand the guide book at all, it may as well be speaking Mongolian for All I understand it.

I'm not clear exactly what is meant by "understand" when it comes to this kind of thing. As I understand it (eek, language is letting me down here), "understanding" involves applying some facts (whether observed or not) to some larger concept that makes these facts meaningful.

Now, if we're talking about Life, the Big Questions and all that, can we possibly have one of these larger, meaning-making concepts that could make sense of the facts of our lives in general? I don't think we possibly can. For some people, G-d fills in this blank; for others, celebrating the fact that such questions are unanswerable by our little minds is key.

Whichever way you choose to "understand" it, the very idea of "understanding" is an elusive and problematic concept, as understanding is, as far as I can see, infinitely deferred.

I think, bohemian, we're saying broadly the same thing...?

Perhaps 42 is the answer...

Someone needs to stay off the craic.

A bit too deep on the sci-fi there I think.......how do you intend to create a hole in the fabric of time?? You've been watching too much Doctor Who

Well, I suppose, I've had a plot for a Story involving time travel for years, and I got hooked on Doctor who in the last two episode, and I now plan to make it involve 10 universes, a monstre that doesn't exist as it was never created, and The end of time.
