Actually, it's the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything. The question is "what do you get if you multiply six by nine?"
Go figure.

Misusing the joke is the joke

Re: What's the meaning of life?
My meaning of life: Help the planet, help the people, eliminate Earth's problems. Get an education and turn your knowledge into power to help. Leave a mark on this planet rather than existing like the contless humans before us.

It is 42 in base 13. 
I have read that book too.

Re: What's the meaning of life?
Guys whoever says "42" is wrong.
42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Not just life. Not simply the answer to those three things, but the answer of the ultimate question. The question is, as we know it, lost to speculation and mystery.
Whoever says otherwise has clearly not read the books.
So stop misusing the joke, it's not funny.
Anyways, as for myself, I really don't know the meaning of life. I have no religious beliefs on it, being atheistic. I'd maybe say: "For all you know, you could die tomorrow." Then you make the most of every moment as if they were your last.
And whoever says "YOLO" really needs a good spanking.

Re: What's the meaning of life?
do you really want to spank everyone who says yolo?
anyway, the meaning of life is to pass on your genes then die (or, alternatively, live some more and then die)

I don't think it means "evil murderer who kicks kittens for fun"
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
