Douglas Adams might say:

In the entire wonderfully long and strange history of the universe, only two people ever came close to figuring out the true meaning of life. One was a galforaxian named Tuz Hjark who spent 100 years in an intense ritualistic meditative coma as was customary to his peaceful people. The other was a human from the planet earth who had recently smoked the leaves of a weed commonly used as an intoxicant. Putting aside his rudimentary smoking device he proclaimed to his red-eyed friends, "Dude... I just got it. I mean like, all of it!" Unfortunately, moments after making his statement, the earth was vaporized by a Vogon construction ship making way for an intergalactic bypass.
