forty-two 

The forty-two is a sexual position that is related to the sixty-nine. In this position the woman will be on all fours and the man will be behind her on two, hence the name forty-two. The woman will be on her hands and knees and the man will be crouching down but still standing. This position requires much stamina and muscular fortitude from the man.
We started out with the sixty-nine and ended with the forty-two.

Rule Forty-two 

As stated in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: "All persons more than a mile high, to leave the court."
Quote:

At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out 'Silence!' and read out from his book, 'Rule Forty-two. ALL PERSONS MORE THAN A MILE HIGH TO LEAVE THE COURT.'

Everybody looked at Alice.

'I'M not a mile high,' said Alice.

'You are,' said the King.

'Nearly two miles high,' added the Queen.

'Well, I shan't go, at any rate,' said Alice: 'besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now.'

'It's the oldest rule in the book,' said the King.

'Then it ought to be Number One,' said Alice.

Forty-Two 

In "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," the ultra-computer, "Deep Thought," is asked to give "the meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything." After a very long time calculating, Deep Thought declares the answer is "Forty-Two," which mystifies everyone.

Douglas Adams, the author of the "Hitchhiker" series, was familiar with computer programming. The symbol for a "wild card" -- a value that can be whatever the programmer desires and/or what the program needs to run -- is the "asterisk," which is this symbol * , sometimes called the "star" symbol."

In the American Standard Code for Instructional Interchange, or "ASCII," the "asterisk" is symbol number "42." Thus, "42" became a programmers' inside joke meaning "whatever you want it to be." Deep Thought could have said given its answer as, "anything" or "whatever you want it to be," but being a computer, it gave the ASCII code number, instead.
"I have an answer," Deep Thought said, "though I don't think you're going to like it."
"What is it?" asked the mice?

"The answer is....is...is...Forty-Two!"

Vroomfondle asked, "Is that it? What is THAT supposed to mean?"

Programmer 1: I'm going out for a burger, you want something?

Programmer 2: Sure.

Programmer 1: Okay, what do you want.

Programmer 2: Oh, I'm not sure. Get me Forty-Two.
