So, one of these days, a decade or two from now, I'm gonna open up a pure, unadulturated channel to the divine, and tirelessly carve out a tome like Moses carving out the Ten Commandments. The tome will contain the answers to life, the universe, and everything. All shall be revealed, simple enough for the lamen to understand the basics of it, and concise enough that with steady research, anyone can understand all the secrets of the universe. It will change the entire world.

I will title this book '42'.

Does this mean that, hypothetically speaking, if someone were to gun you down (or, say, grind you up with pee stained dentures) before you wrote it, they would also be changing the world by ensuring that you never write this book?

Will this book also correct your English so I do not cringe upon reading it?

Douglas Adams on 42: "The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do.' I typed it out. End of story."
