    Because there is a possibilty that aliens may be able to breed without orgasms which with my train of thought is a very sad thing indeed.

    Because im kinda depressed right now and im seeking the meaning of life and 42 isnt satisfactory.
    There doesnt seem to be a meaning to life we are born we live and we die. The only thing we can do is to keep busy so we dont wonder why.

    By the whiskers of a random cat, how can 42 be an insatisfactory answer?!

    Maybe you just need to think about it some more.

    Bel, please don't call me that. It makes me think of Cinderella(no doubt that's where you got it from) and Cinderella is an old hag by now. Plus, I don't spam as much as I used to(ok I do, but that's not the point) and that BTA doesn't *always* edit my posts.
    <grumble> I wish he doesn't period.

    why? truth be told there are no simple answers, nor are there any complex ones. We live, we love, we toil. we experience both the best of times, and the worst of times. we learn, we love beauty, and we crave truth. we wonder about where we came from, its human nature, but there are no answers. there is simply too much for us to comprehend, and simply too much knowledge to absorb. the answer stretches back for an eternity, and therefore humanity will never find the answers we crave and hope for. and i could say that it is folly to even ask, but it is in the asking that great thoughts are spawned, and humanity attempts to look back as far as it can. we begin to uncover the divine mysteries of life, death, and religion. so these half-answers will always drive us to learn and live and we will be left craving more. the point? its simply to live, and in living experience. to experience life through your own eyes.

    By asking the question "why", you are assuming that we need a reason for everything, and I find this a little depressing.

    So the answer is; "Why, indeed?"
