42 in binary is 101010. I always thought the alternating bits are alluding to a balanced or undecidable answer.

Mike,

Why study all those things and waste valuable time.....

Just watch Monty Python and that will give the answers... \

....and another thing.....

If the universe is expanding and expanding.... does that mean that we are being stretched with it ?

PS for all those Binary freaks.... There is a binary watch that you can buy.... I have one and have great fun with it, especially on my travels and when people ask "have you got the time on you ?" I show them the watch and smile....

Yeah, but what's its expanding into? There has to be something there for it to move into...

Or maybe if you follow the turtle theory, another turtle is added to equalise the expanding universe !!!

What's the turtle theory???

I've never heard of it. :-k

**Benny** · 23-06-2006, 12:08 AM

Isn't the turtle theory from Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy? I've heard of it, but not for a long time.

**Hyno** · 23-06-2006, 12:14 AM

Wasn't the hitchhikers guide theory that the universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure??? Beware the coming of the Great White Handkerchief!!! :-o

Pratchett has the world carried on the back of Great A'Tuin, the star turtle.
