Why is the answer to "the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" the number 42? An interesting Christian twist might be ...
* GIVEN ...
* the number of (hu)mankind, 3x for emphasis in some contexts where
humans want to stand completely alone, is "666"
* the atom for human is "6"
* the number most often associated with divinity in the bible is "7"
* THEN ...
* the product of interaction of the divine with humanity is 7 * 6 = 42
(of course this firmly puts humanity at the apex of earthly, and perhaps
universal, entities, and many would object)
