  5. gogog says:

    She once said, “42” and i was like WTF?

    • Sam says:

      It’s from the Hitchhikers Guide – scientists build a supercomputer to give them the answer to the meaning of life, who spends seven and a half million years calculating the answer and when the big day arrives, tells them simply, ’42’.

      It’s a sci-fi/comedy. Don’t think the movie was all that popular, but the books had a sort of following. It’s got that dry English humor, much like Monty Python.

  6. Michael says:

  10. Fran says:

    I asked “what’s the meaning of life” she responds with “I shouldn’t tell you”

  11. Brandon says:

    The one about the long play in which nothing happens refers to “Waiting for Godot” i believe. Literally nothing happens in the play but its symbolism and odd happenings have to do with life and God. I did a research paper on it.

  13. Essa says:

    i asked “siri what is something you would’ent do?” she responed we were talking about you not me

  14. ccc says:

    I’m sure the dictionary would define life as …the act of being alive; to live. If there is meaning to life, then what is the meaning of no life being found any where else in the universe that we’ve studied so far? The earth is the life. It was alive long before us, and will be alive long after. It holds the meaning that won’t be revealed until the final chapter. We and all we know are just a piece in the puzzle. But each piece has meaning and is essential to the final completion of the whole picture.

  20. Kirk Bready says:

    I met a guy who had met a guy who passed on the following story…

    Descartes: I think, therefore I am.
    Grasshopper: What was your first thought?
    Descartes: A question that led to many others, all of which return to, “why”.
    Grasshopper: Is there an answer?
    Descartes: It may be implicit in your capacity to ask the question.
    Grasshopper: That would seem to be a loop.
    Descartes: It’s actually an ascending spiral. Open your mind and enjoy the ride.
