That Is Odd... Or is it?

“Hmm… 42… That’s odd.”

“No it’s not.”

“I’m sorry, what did you say?”

“It’s not odd.”

“What do you mean it’s not odd? It’s pretty strange to think that the ultimate question, the meaning of life, the universe and everything would have such an odd an answer as 42. It is mind blowingly preposterous. To distill the answer down to this simple a number, but give no explanation as to its meaning or reference. To just hang it out for all to look at and challenge them to comprehend its meaning. You don’t think it’s strange? Not even quirky? You don’t think its odd?”

“No. It’s not odd.”

“Well if it isn’t odd then I don’t know what is,” he said in a huff.

“It’s evenly divisible by two. That makes it even.”
