Other than being the meaning of life according to HHGTG, is there anything "cool" about 42?

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.\n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

I am seeking truth and fresh perspectives on life. I am reading more and praying more and asking different questions to attract better answers. Thats all:)-\n\nLooking for interesting things to read any suggestions? I found a new book "The true meaning of your birthday" on Amazon's web site. Looks like I'll give it as a gift. \nISBN: 0-9772369-0-0. God Bless...

The correct answer is 42 (see Douglas Adams).  In the future, read _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ more often.

Don't know the specs, but the most powerful computer on Earth is called Deep Thought...that would be the one that discovered that the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is "42."

Who can honestly tell you here? Our finite minds cannot begin to fathom the infinite workings of the universe. There could have been a countless number before us; 42; 3; or we could be it.\n\nWho knows?

42 (or forty two if you want two words instead of two numbers).

Do anything you can think of that's fun to celebrate, and still leave you alive to get to 27!\n\nBut also...here's a thought...take a half-hour and write a letter to yourself at 46.  Tell you what you hope you've become, and why, and what you hope you still love at 46 that you loved at 26...and then put it away some place safe...Then 20 years from today, pour yourself a nice drink and open a birthday present from you...\n\nFeliz cumpleano!

I think it is a little more detailed than what you are presenting. Not all numbers have meanings, but certain ones do. It is not as clear cut as you describe here. For example "1" is not the number of God, it is basically unity, and so God fits in because He is a unity. But most numbers have both a positive side and a negative side. So "1" could represent unity which is good and positive, but it could also represent independence which is rebellion and therefore evil. It is a real study in itself, and extrememly interesting, and often the best way to get insight into difficult passages for interpretation. I've personally never heard of "2" as heaven/hell, and 3 is not the trinity. 3 is completeness. When you see a three you can see something is completed. Christ 3 days and nights in grave, 3 is the complete God, Isreal went three days into the wilderness (comlete separation) etc.  7 is really the number of God more than complete. 7 spirits of God before the Throne etc. 10 is a completeness in order - Ten commandments were complete, but also foundation for something more. 40 is testing as you mention. I could go on, but I'll give you acouple of sites you can look up. Have fun with it.\n\nhttp://www.vic.australis.com.au/hazz/Numbers.html\nhttp://www.wordworx.co.nz/bay6.html\nHope this is a help.
