Regardless of the source (unless it is, of course, a mortician leaning over you in your coffin) it will most assuredly wake you up.

Throw it out the window to water the dirt, then make a good cup o' tea. problem solved.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

It is obvious that the fluid from the dimension of javajive (Manhattan Transfer is one of their acolytes) has infiltrated the brew in your cauldron. Defenestrate it immediately

Griff, I remember a message from many moons ago, where yourself failed at making coffee because you needed coffee in order to reliably function and actually make coffee.
This is why I buy cans of caffeine and only have to open lid to get my jolt in the morning.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

Don't get the threesome reference. I'll wait for someone else to post the solution to find out!

I got that reference... trying the rest

Oh good!
If you got that, you should get the rest.

Interesting article in today's Code Project Daily News: "For Math Fans: A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Number 42". See For Math Fans: A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Number 42 - Scientific American.
Why is 42 such a big deal for the mathematicians and other so called philosophers? This article takes it all in, almost. What is the answer to: "The Great Question of Life, the Universe and Everything”.
I have always heard the answer as "to die". Then, someone had the intelligence to "two dice", each having one to six dots on each side. Adding up the dots on both dice gives the sum of 42. Maybe not complex math, but overthinking and recontextualizing the problem to get the magic number.

The only significance of 42 is, that it used in a good book...

Isn't it obvious?
The number 4 corresponds to the letter D in the alphabet and the 2 is a B.
That makes DB, or database.
Meaning the answer to life, the universe and everything is a database.
Ergo, we're a simulation that fills up a database with data.
Whether that data is of use to anyone is a different question

No, no, no!
It's the 42nd letter of the Umnian alphabet.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

It's main purpose is to show that a lot of human activity is just plain ridiculous, something it does with great success.
Other than that it is extremely funny and a very good and entertaining read. I have all his works and don't regret it for a second.

When all Douglas actually did was gaze out of his window at home and thought of the number 42 - lots of people have been trying to read something deep and meaningful into it ever since.
