subject: Life, the Universe, and 42

   The subject, for all of you truly serious people out there, is an inside 
joke from Douglas Adams books. Don't ask; it's a waste of time.
   Relatif, I believe that any organism can acheive randomness. There are 
many theorists (I don't share their views completely) who claim that all 
people ever do is to think random thoughts and commit random acts. We all 
just rationalize them later. (This is also from a Douglas Adams book. In 
fact, the same book which I learned about Schroedinger's cat from.)
   Computers can produce random numbers even in BASIC language programs. I'm 
sorry, but I don't know the command off the top of my head. I'm a bit rusty 
on my programming.
   As a parting shot, I'd like to ask you if you have any idea what my age 
is. I'll tell you eventually if you care at all, but I'll bet that I'm 
younger than you think!
