He's just f*cking with people. The 42 connection wasn't made until many years after the film was released. The same with the Playgirl magazine.
Here's a doozy. You know the two hacked up dead girls lying in the hallway? They weren't dead. The were not only breathing but breathing very heavily. If Kubrick had wanted them dead he would have asked them to hold their breath for those few seconds. Instead he had them breath real heavy.
He also knew that this wouldn't be discovered for decades later until the advent of digital technology that allowed for viewing the frames one at a time.
Download these 4 pics and then view them quickly as a slideshow to see the girls breathing.
