No! Read back earlier in the thread. 42 was debated, and so was 8. Then, we got into the FSM matrix, and 42 in base 8 = 52, and... oh, just look up a few posts!

52 is over-rated. I don't know why you like 52 or 8.

I like the matrix, though.

52 and 77 both appear in the matrix. 8 on its side represents the two meatballs, and it was heavily debated at the beginning of this thread between 42 and 8. 42 in base 8 is 52. The matrix also contains 52. Coincidence? I think not.

I like your icon. And I sort of like the Matrix too. Or at least I like matrices in general:
the general m x n matrix wrote:a11 a12 a13 ... a1n
a21 a22 a23 ... a2n
a31 a32 a33 ... a3n
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
am1 am2 am3 ... amn


But, about "42". It's just been done so many times. I mean, fifteen years ago, I thought it was neat, but come on--let's get some new blood in here. So yay 52, yay 48, yay 8, et. al. And 42 too, but not by itself.

Read back a few pages, and see how 42 evolved into 52 and 77.

Well, at least it has a parachute. We would not want that cow to get hurt.

"Furry cows moo and decompress"? I didn't know they were compressed in the first place.

It's so that you can get more "moo" for your "cow" (Why did I put "cow" in ""?)

Why doth the lone cow explosively decompress? I dunno. Ask the cow. Maybe it was something it ate. 8)
