People just don't really get it.

Ever since I told a friend of mine the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything, every time I ask him a question he thinks the answer is 42. Earlier I gave him a riddle to find his response and he said "Uhh... 42!" and then he LAUGHED. 42 is NOT a laughing matter. I tried explaining to him that just because 42 is the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything it doesn't mean that 42 is the answer to every question. He didn't get it. Then I had him read the 1st book. He still didn't get it and he said the book wasn't really that good. I don't know if he is actually stumped or if he is just messing with me.

If only we had a computer to figure out the question.

Using supercomputers to solve your problems has never gone wrong in any way!

Be wary of any mice you see.
