Google Calculator Knows Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything

I've just found this in a movie comment (you should already know what movie). It's just another prove how influential this book is. I know it's old but it's fun... both are, book and google. Here is one more.

I am an italian girl, i am just waiting for the movie in my country... wow, it's wonderful to see how many people love this book!!! I read it only two or three years ago, and since that reading i became a fan of Douglas! It changes my point of view, it's very very very fun... now i walk in Rome with a t-shirt with "6x9=42"...

It's a pity that Douglas didn't made to see his book on the big screen. Did you read "The Salmon of Doubt"? This book contains some of his short stories together with other peoples memories of him and explains his view on life, the universe etc.

Im a great fan of Douglas myself (don't believe me, check out my name). Anyway I too was surprised of how many mentions Wikipedia has of the number 42 (85% of them attributing to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker pentalogy).
