The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

HAHAHAHA.

I've actually just been listening to the Adams read audiobooks with my wife for the past two weeks. So I'm getting some syncronicity here.

 

did you see the movie? it definitely gave one something to think abojut

 

Be fruitful and multiply.

Works for me.

 

Re: The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everyth

I've read the books, but still have yet to see the movie. With two kids, I'm more likely to see The Chronicles of Narnia before I get a chance to see what I want first :lol:

I just got around to seeing Episode III today, if that gives you any idea of how "out of touch" with new movies I am :cussing:

I'm still waiting for someone to have the talent, time, and money to make Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" Series into a great movie, or set of movies. Alas, I don't think it can be done though Instead, they chose to do that horrible Will Smith movie about the Robot. :roll:

Here is a question/conundrum I ask all my driving students.

If you accept that the definition of a collision is when two objects are trying to occupy the same space at the same time, is it theoretically possible to be going so fast that you are never anywhere long enough to get hit.....? :roll:

There are usually a few who want to try to see if a Crown Vic Police Package will go that fast (it can't)

I recommend sparing yourself the agony of going to the poorly done remake of War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise and nobody else.

Took two daughters and a friend to it last night.

I want my money back.

yes it is and that happens when the duration of the initial impact becomes larger than instantaneous

Math quiz: If driving your prius here (galaxy NGC 4565) some 30 million light years away... how many gallons of gas would you need if your avg was 50 mpg?

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(HYACK\";p=\"105304)</div>

[font=Comic Sans MS:d485595bfe]There aren't that many gallons of gas in the universe. On the other hand, if you floor it and accellerate up to light speed, you can coast the rest of the way. I don't know about interstellar regenerative braking.[/font:d485595bfe]

 

^^^ Hahaha!

Which brings up the inevitable question: When on a galactic road-trip with your Prius, what speed should you go at to get the best fuel efficiency?

0.999999999999 Lightspeed?

 

[font=Comic Sans MS:dcbd098641]I think you get the best milage, galactic or not, when you don't see any arrows. Of course, road signs with arrows don't count. And if you can find a way to ignore the arrow of time...[/font:dcbd098641]

[font=Comic Sans MS:242ecd88cf]I think you DON'T want Hüper Optiks, but rather a heavily metalized tint...[/font:242ecd88cf]

 

Well, if we're going that route, I think I'll just get a Tardis in Prius form.

 

wasnt there some people who had trouble with handheld GPS units when they installed metal tint?
