    ^You mean we have to do this all over again in 16 billion years? I’m getting so tired of the same old rut.

    This must be the last Lio strip.

    It’s a bit more spectacular than the last Annie strip, huh?

    “There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” Douglas Adams www.quotationspage.com

    Actually, we don’t have to wait 16 billion years; they say the earth is only 4.54 billion years old.

    There is yet a third theory which suggests that both of the first two theories were concocted by a wily editor of ‘The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ in order to increase the level of universal uncertainty and paranoia and so boost the sales of the guide…. This last theory is, of course, the most convincing, because ‘The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ is the only book in the whole of the known universe to have the words ‘Don’t Panic’ inscribed in large, friendly letters on the cover.

    The answer to “42” is “What is six times nine”, according to Douglas Adams. Someone pointed out that 42 is the correct answer to that question if you are working in base 13.

    Notice the discarded can in the first panel. Lio is just speeding up the process of planetary destruction that the rest of us are doing in slow motion.

    “42” is NOT the answer. That was Adams’s point: there is no “answer.” Life has plenty of meaning and beauty without having to believe there is an ultimate answer to some ultimate question.

    Then again, he was also terribly depressed.

    Fortunately those of us using Firefox weren’t affected. Reload is ‘Ctrl + R’, and is a single semicircle with an arrow. (Hopefully the new Universe will be MS-free!)
