(((42 factorial) factorial) factorial, eh?

That's far greater than a googol, which is far greater than the number of atoms in the universe (Eddington's estimate).

My sister loved the book, and she says the movie is good. (She went to see it with her friends, and they each brought a towel.)

Oh my goodness yes, 42!!! is bigger than a mole.

(A mole is 6.02*10^23, isn't it? It's been two years since Chemistry class.)

Been waiting for this movie for a long time. Figures I would be 42 years old when it was released!

[painful admission] Hee Haw was one of my great cultural influences growing up, so don't take it as any sort of aspersion-casting on my part. [/painful admission]

All together now:

Doom, despair, and agony on me
Deep dark depression, excessive misery;
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I'd have no luck at all!
Doom, despair and agony on me.

We're not ones to go 'round spreadin' rumors.
No really we're just not the gossipy kind.
No you'll never ever hear of US repeating gossip.
So you'd better be sure and listen CLOSE the first time.

And another favorite TV song:

Be kind to your webfooted friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother.
Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where the weather is very, very dahmp.
