42 as interleaved 2 of 5 barcodeEver
since reading the holy
trilogy
soon to be
hexology
in my early teens, I have had a “secret” obsession with the number
42. My phone number begins with 4242, my license plate is 42, I
have a lot of
pictures
on flickr in the 42 group. Just
the other day I was playing around with twitter and discovered that
my twitter id ends with 4242. Coincidence? - Maybe, but the number
still carries a
very special meaning for me
and always will :-)
“Six by nine. Forty two.” “That’s it. That’s all there is.” “I
always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe”

I look forward to the 6th book in the trilogy, and even though it
won’t be Douglas Adams’ own words directly, I still believe
Eoin Colfe2) will be able to capture
the mood and the spirit of previous books in the series.
Don’t forget your towel!
