Douglas Adams is the author of "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe" which
was also made into a BBC series on PBS in the '80s. If I remember correctly,
there was a computer called Deep Thought that was asked for the answer to the
question: What is the meaning of life, universe and everything? And the
answer was: Forty-two!
Now, does anyone recall Kurt Vonnegut's quote:
To be or not to be -- Shakespeare
To do is to be -- Sartre
Do be do be do -- Sinatra
