42 - The current Age of "The HitchHiker's Guide to The Galaxy"

42 - Years since the launch of Voyager 2 and Voyager 1, still in touch with Earth!

42 This year Only!

originally broadcast in 1978 so only 41.

Elvis died 42 years ago... at the age of 42!

Spoilsport!

produced in 1977, Pilot in 1977!  I researched that before posting.  And yes, I heard it in 1978

ah but... when was the pilot broadcast (if ever) I can't find anything to say other than it was recorded in june77.

So what?

Last year it was 41 and next year it will be 43 etc.

So no coincidence at all............

This year, as I  said, only, it is the year 42 and hence enlightenment.   Of course I wasn't expecting the clock to stop, no one does when a period is marked.  My name is not Xeno

Time is an illusion.  Lunchtime doubly so.

Have you read the book?

That's good enough for me.

I'd say he was wearing Mathematician's Spectacles

"Battle State Russet and Six miles from Target Galaxy..."

to add to the atmosphere of the time, the Apple II Microcomputer is 42 as well.   I still have a working example, a tribute to Woz!  I didn't actually encounter one till very early in 1979 which was a considerable surprise

42 = number of summits on The Bob graham Round

Surprised as this is a hillwalking forum that no one's pointed that out yet!

I once tried to. Banal rubbish....... life is just too short 

That explains the reasoning for your comment but not why you made it.

Oh dear. Scratch the surface. 

42 - only 195m left to run!

Lost me there.
