42, Mr Nippl-e and Stephen Fry

Apparently, 6 times 9 equals 42 and 42 equals the answer to life, the universe, and everything. “A completely ordinary number,” explained Douglas Adams, “a number not just divisible by two, but also six and seven. In fact it’s the sort of number that you could, without any fear, introduce to your parents.”
Should you ever need to find out for yourself the answer to life, the universe and everything, type it as such in Google.
Adams himself never revealed the origins of 42. His sole confidant was Stephen Fry, and so it came to be that Stephen Fry stood as the sole bearer of 42. A one man guild, who finds 42 “fascinating, extraordinary and, when you think hard about it, completely obvious.” Just as Mr Nippl-e dance’n’slap is fascinating, extraordinary and, when you think hard about it, completely obvious.
