Bunch of Questions to come

So you're making us guess at the questions? OK, here are the answers:

Yes. Yes. Not in your wildest dreams. Plugwires. No. Sometimes. Yes, always. Yes. Only on Tuesdays. No. The slave cylinder. No. No. Yes. Yes.

The answer to most question of all :-)

Damn I need faster fingers, it should of course have read:

"The answer to THE most IMPORTANT question of all :-)"

I thought it was the answer to "The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything." or possibly the answer to "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"

But maybe not....

You missed one, Lanny. The drain tube.

Good to "see" you again too, Frank. Unfortunately I no longer own a winking Miata - Belle was murdered on June 3 in the Pocono mountains. Now I'm driving a 2004 - but at least it's still a red Miata!

"But it was the Great Question! The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything," howled Loonquawl.

"Yes," said Deep Thought with the air of one who suffers fools gladly, "but what actually is it?"

Just re-read that one for the umpteenth time last week...

Hi Ephar. As Lanny notes, the answer is 42. Now please come up with the correct question.

Leon :)

No, according to all of the wise and mystical references in my library, that would be "54." Perhaps arithmetic works differently on your planet?

:-)

In base 13, maybe.

Did you see the original TV series, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy? I thought that short scene was a brilliant means to suggest that all of our science and knowledge is based on fallacies.

At least I think that's the point Douglas Adams was making.....

Well, there's always "The Dreaded Oil Thread"... ;-)

How long since we've had one of those, anyway?

See reply to Lanny.

The DVD collection is even better, with expanded and updated "data screens." It holds up amazingly well for an old, low-budget Brit TV show.

But it is. Science and knowledge could not proceed without incorrect (idealized) representation. If even we would know what the grand truth was.

It is just that some fallacies work much better than others. :)
