I would talk about my day but who here honestly wants to hear about that? No one. So I will type what I'm reading at the moment.
"...Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existance several miles above the surface of an alien planet.
And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it had to come to terms with not being a whale any more."
What the whale was thinking right before its demise.
"...wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming toward me very fast? Very, very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide-sounding name like...ow...ound...round...ground! That's it! That's a good name--ground!
I wonder if it will be friends with me?
And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence."

"The answer to the great question...'
'Of life, the universe and everything...' said Deep Thought.
'Is...' said Deep Thought, and paused.
'Is...'
'Forty-two' said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm."
