Anecdote

Wehay two “arty” posts in one day! I just did this little cartoon thing this morning, couldn’t think of what to draw so I was asking my brother and my Dad for some ideas. My Dad said something about waiting for a train, so I took it from there:

What does “Saying Goodbye to an Empty train” mean I hear you ask! Well it’s open to interpretation innit, what do you think it means…

This is my rather amusing proof that the Meaning of Life can’t be 42 as stated by Douglas Adams in his Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books.

Proof By Contradiction:

1. Take Meaning of Life (MoL)=42
2. MoL = Purpose + People
3. 42 = Purpose + People
4. There are about 6 billion People on earth, so..
5. 42 = Purpose + 6billion
6. Purpose = 42 - 6billion
7. So, Purpose = - 5,000,000,042

Purpose can’t be a NEGATIVE value, because purpose is a GOOD thing and therefore is POSITIVE. This means that the Meaning of Life cannot be 42, because it would require Purpose to be a negative value (which it clearly isn’t).

Hmmm…. Coming to think of it, this is a bit random. But I guess that’s why I named this the Random Blog!!
