Better than lying on the floor with a paper bag on your head. Or lying in the mud in front of a bulldozer, for that matter.

I've got my towel ready.

In school, at about age 10, there was a quiz, a general knowledge section and specialist subject, a la Mastermind, H2G2 was my specialist subject.
I chose 42 as my team number.

Look, I loved Hitchhikers, but I doubt that 21 of you can quote 2 pages from it.

I picked 43 because it's true, and because without it, there would always be a sort of awkward pause when counting past 41.

42 = half of the normal life expectancy so it's actual midlife?
