Three years ago, I was 42. I was suddenly single after being married for twenty years. I was devastated, depressed, without hope. The rug had completely been pulled out from underneath me. I didn't know what to do, where to turn to for help, how to pick up the pieces. I just wanted to give up. This was one of the worst years of my life. But little by little, things got better, true friends came through for me, I went through my ups and downs and had many adventures along the way...and now can can look back on all this and say I survived and am a stronger person than I ever was before.

Nope - and it didn't to Douglas Adams, either:
"Douglas Adams was asked many times during his career why he chose the number forty-two. Many theories were proposed, but he rejected them all. On November 3, 1993, he gave an answer on alt.fan.douglas-adams:
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."

If you follow the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, it's the meaning of life answered by the giant machine that the big machine designed. Otherwise it's just 7 X 6.

Yes. It's the age my mother was when she died of breast cancer. It's also the age my older sister was when she died of ovarian cancer. I was scared out of my mind when I reached that age, but I outlived the dreadful curse of the number 42. Oh and I think it means death in Japanese culture, go figure. And it's one of the numbers in the sequence on LOST.

According to Douglas Adams, it's the answer to the questions of the universe.

Perhaps it means that your question is as deep as this answer. It's also 7 x 6.

It was the number of Lee Petty's (Richard's dad)stock car. It is also the age Elvis was when he died.
