Prolog apparently reveals the answer to life if you try finding a binding for the variable X. Since it tries proving X for any value, apparently it decides to use the answer to life as the binding. Mysterious!? Tell us what you think.

Even Google agrees

Why is 42 the answer to the universe and everything in life? Beats me but apparently its the true answer. Try asking Google it doesn’t disagree.

And before you start doubting the big G, you have to consider xkcd webcomics, which are awesome btw. Check out Ask the admin and find out how xkcd is related to the answer to life as well.

Is this starting to get creepy? Look at the palm of your hand, it is also said you have 42 major creases. Weird? Well it might because I just made that up but wouldn’t surprise me if it was true! (In case it is, tell me!)
