Sorry if I seem ignorant but why is 42 the meaning of life? I love to learn new things.

I just finished the Hitchhiker's Guide. I love this so much. I don't have the guts to get it myself, but I wish I did.
To Dee: We don't know why 42 is the meaning of life because we didn't figure out what the actual question was before we asked it.

42 isn't the meaning of life. It's the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

I too have this tattoo. I got it on my foot. I love how it is the answer, but they never figured out the question.

Couldn't remember the answer so he/she had it tattooed on their wrist.
Wouldn't XLII have been better?
