Well, yes and no. Mostly yes. I originally used the number 4252 because it was the # of a sailboat I had, but as soon as I discovered Douglas Adams, I started to read everything he wrote, the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy 5 book "trilogy" being my favorite. When I joined this forum, I shortened 4252 to 42, but realized right away it was also the number from the book; Deep Thoughts' answer to the question about life, the universe, and everything. So it seemed to fit.

I hear they're making a movie based on the first book. Know anything about it?
