42. The answer to the ultimate question, "Life, the Universe, and Everything".
When asked why 42, the humorous and insightful Douglas Adams replied: "The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story."
I turned 42 at a quarter past midnight.
It's a good number to be in. You've lived enough to know not to panic. End of story.
