Happy Answer Day!
101010 = 42 in binary which we all know is the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything.

Today is October 10, 2010. 10/10/10. In binary, that's 42. And 42 is The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. Or at least, that's what Douglas Adams says.

5. Do you know the meaning of that comment?
It has to do with concepts of Christians, and Fishers of men.

Although it does not have the best meaning in that context.


The idea of 'fisher of men' many times takes the metaphor of people being fish, not the metaphor of being able to catch fish.

If the metaphor is thought of as 'fish' people think of it in ways like 'cookbook' if the metaphor is on fisher, then it is finding or catching people deep in the sea, and other comments show that is for love and good treatment for peoples brothers and sisters.

7. There are other stories that correlate.
That comment is in many places. It is a conceptual comment also in other contexts.

That is part of 'Its a cookbook doctrine' it leverages off of the fish metaphor, not the fishermen metaphor.


Many doctrines in that book.
