A sign of 42


I saw this 42 while I was walking north on McLean.

      Elizabeth is right in her comment below. 42 is the ""Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)#The_Hitchhiker.27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy

    Erika, it stands for "The answer to life, the universe and everything." It has many meanings, but comes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I think Memphis is the only city where this number is prevalent. I've never seen it anywhere else.

      Toby42 and Nosey42 are local artists who include 42s in their public art. I don't know anything about the artists (or taggers or whatever the distinction between the 2 is) I think people, noticing and getting a kick out of it, sometimes add 42s to our landscape. I love finding them :)
