"Because it occurred approximately 42,000 years ago, the period has been termed the Adams Event or Adams Transitional Geomagnetic Event, a tribute to science fiction writer Douglas Adams, who wrote in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that "42" was the answer to life, the universe and everything."

Brilliant!

Started watching the film, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy' again to see if twenty years has mellowed me.
It hasn't.
The film is still a travesty.
My twenty year dislike of Martin Freeman and Stephen Fry is definitely well founded.
I stopped watching it after fifteen minutes or so and I'm still kicking myself for not walking out of the cinema when it was released.
Maybe I'll try again in 2045. If I'm still alive.
