Six times Nine is Forty Two in base 13. This may or may not be a statment as to the true nature of the Universe.

Six times nine truly is 42 if you're working with the proper numeric base, namely 13. -- Evan Ross decwrl!amd!fortune!dsd!ross "To oppose something is to maintain it. To oppose vulgarity is inevitably to be vulgar."
