the meaning of life
jlparsons - 10/3/07 at 07:33 PM

I've never asked a question yet on here that someone hasn't been able to answer.

So with that in mind...

What is the meaning of life?

To please women and build fast cars.

No actually you are wrong too!

It's to build fast cars and get women to please you. You're not seriously suggesting that the women should please you AND build the fast cars? Surely NOT

Not too sure, but I'm confident the answer lies at the end of a long path of Cornish pasties, washed down with lots of ale.
The search is still on going, and I plan for it to be for many a moon yet.

The computer got it wrong, 42 was not the answer.


hillbillyracer - 10/3/07 at 08:35 PM

True, 42 was not an acceptable answer so the Earth was constructed as an experiment to find a satisfactory answer to the question. Unfortunately we get blasted to oblivion inorder to construct a new intergalactic super highway before the experiment is completed.
But dont worry, it doesnt happen until after the dolphins leave, so we are ok for the moment.

I've only just read the book, should've done years ago!
Anybody seen any dolphins lately?


goodall - 10/3/07 at 08:36 PM

well the human also said 42 and he was part oft he even better computer


goodall - 10/3/07 at 09:01 PM

as for what i think the meaning of life is, got to be: you live life, trying to do what ever you like but normally get stoped by laws or other people which you might try, fight somethings but most of the time (personally) to lazy to try, try and leave you mark for the furture to remember you by, attempt to fall in love more times than you break up, have children so that the human race doesnt die out and once youve done all that you die and theres nothing else you can try to even do because unfortunately your gone


roadrunner - 10/3/07 at 09:40 PM

So where's this going.


rusty nuts - 10/3/07 at 09:43 PM

42 is the meaning of life the universe and everything!


dl_peabody - 10/3/07 at 09:47 PM

OK I'll Bite......

Ever read Kipling's IF

Mostly that and a paraphased Goodall....

quote:

Live with purpose
Love without fear of loss
Make your mark for the furture to remember you by
have children so that the human race doesnt die out



P.S. Sorry to be a Yank posting Kipling on a Bristish Site, it seems so wrong! Dont worry about too many kids as I hear the are being outsourced to the third world.

I can see where you're going with this speedy, but I'm not sure that pleasing the woman is techniclaly necessary...


rusty nuts - 10/3/07 at 10:23 PM

But is it possible???

[the End Of The Film]
Lady Presenter: Well, that's the end of the film. Now, here's the meaning of life.
[Receives an envelope]
Lady Presenter: Thank you, Brigitte.
[Opens envelope, reads what's inside]
Lady Presenter: M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. And, finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their bleeping arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment? Bollocks. What they want is filth: people doing things to each other with chainsaws during tupperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats. Where's the fun in pictures? Oh, well, there we are. Here's the theme music. Goodnight.


jlparsons - 10/3/07 at 10:29 PM

But anyway, in conclusion we're not exactly sure but we know it involves fast cars, beer, pleasing/not pleasing women and probably cornish pasties?

Personally speaking that sounds better than anything the major religions have come up with. I think we have just created a religion. I think perhaps we need to come up with a name for it to put on the census form. And maybe a symbol of the religion for the back of our cars like the christians do with that fish thing. Perhaps a pint glass? Or a tin pastie? Can't think of anything PC to represent the bit about pleasing women, but open to suggestions.


coozer - 10/3/07 at 10:34 PM

Watch the film and you will see the light.

Failing that make your own mind up, as long as your not a Muslim its about your own believes.

So in no particular order, 1. engineering 2. engines, 3. steam engines, 4. diesel engines, 5. petrol engines, 6. Cricket, 7. Heavy Metal, 8. Humping, 9. Winning the lottery to fulfill all of the above

I have no desire to blow people up, what ever they may think of me, oh, apart from my ex....

jlparsons - 11/3/07 at 09:45 AM

I thought the answer was 42, but the problem was that they needed to find out what the question was, hence earth and its backup planet.


goodall - 11/3/07 at 11:10 AM

i like the idea of the faith! but what would be a good name

as for lord lucan and elvis nd all it was the alliens we all know that


jlparsons - 11/3/07 at 05:02 PM

locostarians... in place of ganja we burn petrol.

some sort of piston-and-pint-glass religious symbol?


goodall - 14/3/07 at 10:35 AM

next cenus, 2011 isnt it might put that down.
how many is it you need for it to been come a "real" faith by goverment standards


jlparsons - 14/3/07 at 07:17 PM

I'm not sure. Apparently the number of people putting "jedi" was far in excess of this, but tony said no.

I was looking forward to putting my pyjamas on and going door to door with a flourescent tube asking people if they'd thought about letting the force into their life.
