Deep Thought the computer made a huge mistake on the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. Turns out the answer is 19, not 42!
This horrendous mistake was noticed when mathematicians proved that the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything must be a prime number, which 42 isn't. As is
well known, mathematical proofs, unlike scientific ones, can never be refuted. Ergo, it must be the case that Deep Thought made an error.
It turns out some craphead
programmer made a (serious) typo on the very first
line of Deep Thought's code, for some reason causing the whole program to add
23 to the final answer. Only God knows what the heck when in that programmer's
head at the time...
Jack: 19 year-olds are the ultimate members of
society since 19 is (the true) answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
John: I
bet your 20th
birthday will be the worst one yet!
