42 was probably picked because it's such an odd number to be so important and it definatly wasn't his age seeing as he died last year at the age of 49 (I think) and the book was written in the late 70's and before then it was a radio play.
how many people are going to see the movie (if it ever comes out), buy the game (there is only one thing I've seen on this and that was almost a year ago), read "what about the salmon?". I personnaly will do all three.
