Can you eat radish leaves?

According to this link, all radish greens are edible. Glad I could be of assistance.

Hmmm, my turn. What do you think Douglas Adams meant by "42"?

Awesome, thanks MV I'll not toss them away then.



42 is the amount of years on average that it takes Uranus to make it's half return. Which also tends coincides with a person's 'mid life crisis', whether mild or extreme. Often people have a crisis of meaning at these times and they may ponder what the value of their life is, and go on into the latter part of their lives with a fresh direction.

Btw, you don't have to write another question, but it's cool if you've got one.

My husband said that 42p was the price of a pint at the time the Hitchiker's Guide was written.

My ex-husband said it represented the number of days between a childbirth and when you're allowed, by your doctor, to resume sexual relations. (6 weeks = 42 days)

Huh. I always thought 42 was random. It's a big part of its appeal for me, so I wouldn't want to learn what Adams meant by it.

it's 6 x 7, and kids have an awful lot of trouble with the 6 and 7 multiplication tables in particular. if they can't calculate a response to a multiplication question, the answer is probably 42 as the two hardest tables intersect at that number.

i'm sure he didn't mean it that way in the book, but to me it always made perfect sense.

Strange. I was horrible with multiplication tables (and I'm generally good in math and physics; I even studied astrophysics), but 6x7 was one of the easiest one for me to remember. It just made sense.

6x9, on the other hand?

Why doesn't the world recognize my genius, my wit, my spiritual self?

And don't tell me 42 I've tried every permutation of 42.
