| - The Ultimate Question was asked by the Greek philosopher Parmenides on March 3, 553 BC. However, nobody heard the Question and Parmenides didn't write it down. Later philosophers have attempted to reconstruct the Question: Oscar Wilde: "What if this were not a hypothetical question?" Socrates: "Man cannot know absolute truth, but why can't we at least know where to go to get laid? Without getting the clap, I mean." Plato: "If absolute truth is unattainable and we observe only its remote shadows, like men in a cave seeing shadows of outside reality dancing on the walls, does this explain why the hell I keep waking up with bat piss in my hair?" Thomas Aquinas: "God is the absolute truth, so why did He get this thing going with the Jews? Why didn't he create Christians right from the get-go instead of a bunch of kikes?" Spinoza: "The universe is God and is the absolute truth, but why does the universe have to include diarrhea? Excuse me, I gotta run. Heh, I made a punny." Descartes: "Is the only absolute is that I think, therefore you am? No, wait a minute, I wrote it down...You think you are, but I think you are not therefore... uh, therefore I am not thinking you are thinking...Man, this migraine is killing me." Locke: "Empirical absolutes are the only reality that is accessible to crabs, so must mankind be relegated to being the dreams of crabs? I really like crabs, with a nice bit of Scottish butter and some mayonaisse. Are crabs the ultimate reality? I really think they must be."
- The Ultimate Question is the actual inquiry behind the Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything. The Ultimate Question was sought after the supercomputer Deep Thought revealed the Ultimate Answer to be 42. When Deep Thought asked, Loonquawl and Phouchg were unable to say what the actual question was. Hence, Deep Thought made the plans for the supercomputer Earth, that would solve the Question in ten million years. However, five minutes before it was due to be complete, the Vogons, under the orders of Gag Halfrunt, destroyed it to make a hyperspace bypass. It was later revealed that part of the Earth supercomputer was compromised by the Golgafrinchans, whose arrival wiped out the population of humans on the planet.
