The Worst of everything

No can do :frown: Douglas Noel Adams (11 March 1952 – 11 May 2001)

Damn, I didn't' know that....although in retrospect, I'm surprised he made it past 1994.

Did you like the magic cube?.......every row adds to 42.

Paul Cooper calculated that a vacuum tube through the center of the earth would take
42 minutes to get to the other side...half acceleration and half deceleration.

42 has Kabbalistic implications...and the Gutenberg Bible has 42 lines per page.


Now, one might rightfully ask, "What has this got to do with a pool forum?"
.......well, it fits into this thread perfectly....
It's the WORST highjacking of a thread I ever saw....42 lashes for pt....:eek:
 
Kind of agree, but I will say that jump cues have made me a better safety player. I have had to learn to stick the cue ball on a ball rather than just hide behind it.

Exactly. A simple safety isn't good enough anymore. You gotta tight-ball your opponent. It makes you a better safety player.
 
From what I remember, Adams said he just picked a number and typed it. No specific reason.

Little known fact....Douglas Adams played pool.....

So mu guess is that 42 is his high run at straight pool....three racks.
