Yesterday was April Fools Day, and I didn't see anyone celebrating it with nonsense threads like they did a few years back which means either the forum is slowly maturing or it's slowly getting slower.

Today is 4/2 which in the rest of the world (or in most places) it's 2.4 and has no connection to the number, 42. OK I have posted a decent video on the subject. I noticed in the video they do not mention dice. If you take any number side of a die and then add the opposite side you get seven. In total there are twenty-four pips on a die and with two of them there are 42 pips. So if the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" is forty-two it probably means it's a crap shoot. Which is totally opposite of what Einstein thought, which was "God does not play dice with the universe."
