No, then Douglas Adams comes back to life, Jasper Fforde becomes immortal, and Terry Pratchett's Alzheimer's is cured along with everybody else's Alzhiemer's.

And that is why 42 is the answer to the ultimate question.

I don't think those are mutually exclusive outcomes. After all, someone had to write the sealed book.

And he can dress real neat from his hat to his feet and surprise them with a victory cry.

Also, if Bacon Bits are the 'fairy dust of the food community' (according to Jim Gaffigan), does that make Kevin Bacon like...the Fairy Godfather of food?

Douglas Adams didn't die. He ascended to a higher plane of existence and created the universe.

Well yeah, your calculator refuses to divide by zero because it knows what will happen, unlike us fleshy mortals.

[down] No, that's when you put 0 on top.
