The last sound she heard was a sustained beep from the machinery, telling her that time was up.

As her senses dulled and her mind stopped, her soul took control. Slowly rising from the bed in which she laid, she got her last glimpse of the doctors that had tried to save her, the family that had loved her, and the friends that had helped her hang on. For the past three months, these were the people that had stayed by her bed, doing everything they could to make her life as happy as they could. Of course, they all knew that this was inevitable, but they wanted to make her life last as long as they could. She passed through the ceiling of the room, out of the hospital and into the clouds.

She had always loved to be outdoors. The bookcase in her house held dozens of books, all filled with drawings of birds, trees, the sky...anything in nature. Every day, she would drive a half-hour to the fields outside of the city limits, just to lie down on the warm grass and draw. Now, she glided through the very same clouds, watching the birds and butterflies as their wings slowly flopped through the air, going wherever they wished.

Continuing ever upward, her journey brought her out of the Earth, and into the stars. Every week, the television would flicker onto channel 2, where programs about space and the stars would fascinate and amaze. Her love for the extra-terrestrial even brought her to Florida once, where she saw a rocket launch, eventually to land on the Moon. In the distance, she could now see a space ship float through space, almost at its destination.

Almost to her own destination, she turned around. For a split second, all she saw was black. Spinning back, she saw the same. She had always heard about people arguing about the edge of the universe, but now she was going to find out first hand.

Turning once more, she witnessed what she had thought was at the end of the universe all along. A bright light beckoned her, and clouds laid in the background. Angels sailed from spot to spot effortlessly, in eternal bliss. Sunlight poured onto them all, warming their faces.

She was home.

Ok. Let me just get this straight in my head. I’m driving a car at the speed of light... 299,792,458 meters per second? I’m sorry, but the question is flawed in many parts, which I will go into:

1. I was to try that on earth, not only would I need the reflexes of a Jedi, but I would have to have some kind of car/boat hybrid. Sadly, the question is not "what if a boat-car was traveling the speed of light..." so we can't do it on our bluey, greeny mass of dirt. This takes us into point 2.

2. Have you ever tried to get a car into space? Jesus man, that’s the looniest idea I have ever heard, and one of my friends suggested once that we go clay pigeon shooting blindfolded...(we didn’t, but still a crazy idea.)
A car in space is just not doable, maybe if it was modified to serve as a space craft as well as a car. But that takes us back to point one.

(Anyone else see this turning into Asimov's three laws of pissing on the Theory of Relativity?) This, ties in neatly with point three.

3. Einstein, a crazy haired German once said that it is impossible to ever go faster than the speed of light. Was he right? Who knows, but that’s not the topic under discussion here is it? Let’s take him at his word and assume that the latter is true. So, nothing can go faster that the speed of light. Granted he doesn't say that an object can go AS fast, but he's dead now, so we can't question him on it...lucky git!

4. Speaking of being dead, have you ever been on a really fast rollercoaster? I’m sure you have. But, they don't make a roller coater that can do anywhere near as fast as the speeds we are talking about here. Traveling at the speed of light would, in theory, liquefied every major organ in your body, pulverise you into the seat, and Christ knows what else. Bottom line, it's not going to happen!

Anyway, as an answer is needed here, I’m willing to over look all the above points and wrap things up. Let’s just say, that for some unknown reason there is a car is space. Also, this car has been fitted with some kind of star trek style doohickey that stops you from becoming goo when hitting insane velocities.

That all being said, the car hits the speed of light, (history in its self, mind) the driver turns on the headlights and what happens.....

NOTHING! Nothing at all, due to that fact that the light from the cars headlights has nothing to reflect onto, so the human eye cannot see it. If the driver goes out to have a look, well, he'd be dead of course and I’m not starting a load of new points just to explain that!

To wrap it all up. as I’m sure you have guess, this was just a clever was for me to dart around the question as it's obvious that I have no bloody clue what I’m on about.

It feels like 42,
It smells like 42,
It is almost 42 ...

But contrary to popular belief, this is NOT yogurt or neither 42. To be true,yogurt is a VERY wrong answer ... but 42 is not TOO wrong. The real meaning is reached and fully understood almost at the age of 42, and I’m not talking about making kids. This is NOT the meaning of life; this is the meaning of your genitals.

The most intersting part of it is that after the first paragraph you remember that not even one of the 3 h2h players are NEAR the age of 42.... so how the answer can be explained with fully knowledge by someone that young ? The answer for this other question is easier than it looks.

Life is such a complex and simple thing at the same time that there is not only ONE simple meaning of life. There is at least hmmm ..... billions of meanings, and trust me, none of those are 42.

"Billions ? A simple imdb search only brings us the monthy python's, the don hertzfield's and a bizarre Chinese movie ..."

No ... not THAT kind of meaning of life.

Ok ... now I will be direct to the point : the meaning of life IS to search of a meaning.

Lots of philosophers searched for the meaning of life and the results in their quests helped him to solve many problems of people's life ... and some others created bad things such as psychology. MY MOM HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT your old pervert !!!

The quest for the meaning is nothing more than a quest to make you feel happy, and everyone has a different way to be happy. some of those want to see others happy, some want to be happy eating or simply by yelling to people at hyjinx "there is a text section ?" =P

So, if you are walking in the streets at night and a drunken man come to you and ask for the meaning of life, just answer "exactly that !" He will not understand ... but he would not understand anything anyway.

Do your texts, do your chops, do your illus and o your photos... do your entries or anything that makes you feel good.... or if you found that the meaning of your life is to suck to people win .... well ... feel happy about it ... or no .... I really don't know... and to be true ... I really don't care =P
