They're not evenly spaced.

If I recall correctly, when you have 42 posts it changes to Meaning of Life (with a pic).

I've also wondered why that little dude came up for that one. Why that one? Why not a different one?

[elle]

well, at least now I can stop tying myself in mental knots :D maths was never my strong point anyway :D

:P I know about HHGG - I've read it!!! My qustion is, does that picture represent THE meaning of life?? or is it 42 days/yrs old? or 42 cm/mm/inches (for those with imperial measurements)? is it kg/lbs/g etc??? *starts to confuddle self*
What is the significance of it? http://www3.christianforums.com/images/smilies/scratch.gif

I think it's meant to be a Vogon.

Since when do Vogons look like planets? :shock: It's from the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (I think it first appeared on the Hitchhiker's Quartet.)

*tsk*

Nononononoooooo
it's NOT a Vogon!

EXPLICATION!
The American covers of the H2G2 books had this green planet on it, sticking out its tongue and with little spindly arms. In none of the books is there a planet like this. It was just some cover-designer who thought it looked cool.
Douglas Adams actually didn't like the planet-thingy.

*grabs copy of Hitchhiker's Guide*

Yep. It's on the cover. :D And I never knew that Douglas Adams didn't like it!

[Tundra]

It was in the tv miniseries too. It was popping around the text of The Guide playing hide and seek.

[vindemiatrix]

I was sure I'd seen Tundra saying it was a Vogon... you know, I think I may have dreamed that part. It does look absolutely nothing like a Vogon, true. :)

Oh, well. *grin* I have the British cover on my copy, so no weird green thingy.

not sure my copy even had a cover it wa that battered, no matter, cute lil fella aint he :D do I get to keep him ? :D lol
