The answer to the universe is: 42.

Also, a towel is the most important thing to bring when travelling in outer space.

But what is the question?

[Just Kill Me]

Have you ever needed a towel and not had one? There you go...

I just ran across something that hits on what I was trying to explain to Grimmlok and (I think) Beeyotch several months ago:What is Living the Field? / The Book - Living the Field

Remember me saying I have a "scientific" understanding of "God" and what "God" is? Well, this chick Lynne McTaggart gets it. Turns out, I'm not alone in my understanding of the Intangible Omnipresent Hoobajoob!

Question: Who invented God?

Follow-up questions: When did God first make his/her appearance amongst humans? Whose bright idea was it, this God concept? Who invented the original sky fairy? Why was it affective? Why has every civilization-- great and small-- constructed a theological concept?? I want to know the history of God!

Hah!

Fantastical guesswork: It's no more realistic than this!

The pasilalinic-sympathetic compass, also referred to as the snail telegraph, was a contraption built to prove the belief that snails create a permanent telepathic link when they touch. The belief was developed by French occultist Jacques Toussaint Benoit and colleague Monsieur Biat-Chretien in the early to mid 19th century. The telepathic bond was theorised to have no physical limit, with communication being possible over any distance. By touching one half of the snail partnership the other will sense the contact and will itself move.

Benoit and Biat-Chretien believed that when there is contact between two snails a special type of fluid forms a link between them. This fluid forms an invisible thread that keeps the snails in "sympathetic communication" by using animal magnetism caused by an electric current pulsating along it.[1] Though this implies some form of physical link between the two snails it was still referred to as "telepathy".

[WickedHo]

^^ Hunh? Did the snails form a physical yet undetectable link? Is that how they communicated? Is that why the other snail moved? If the answer is "Yes" then you get what I'm saying.

Just cuz you cant' see it don't mean it don't exist. In other words, it may not be telepathy, but it's still "something."

On 2 October 1851 Benoit invited Triat and friend Jules Allix, a journalist from La Presse. He first asked Triat and then Allix to stand at one station and to spell out a word - he would then tell them what the word was by reading from the receiving end. However, he continually walked between the two devices and Triat began to suspect that it was a hoax. Allix was convinced by the demonstration and he wrote an article full of praise for Benoit's creation which appeared in the newspaper on 27 October 1851. Triat demanded a second, stricter test to which Benoit agreed. When the time came though Benoit had vanished.[1][2]

wait can we talk some more about mulder please?! for example:

Mulder's apartment
Mulder lives in Apartment 42, 2630 Hegal Place Alexandria, VA 23242 ("Small Potatoes")

Click here for a floor plan of Mulder's apartment, provided by Richard Preece. (Bear in mind, though, that the X-Files interiors are sets, and not always the same from one episode to the next.) [Editor's note: There must have been a bathroom somewhere, and I'm sure building codes would require a window in the bedroom. We'll try to get a better diagram.]

There is a good view of the outside of his apartment complex in "The Erlenmeyer Flask&," when Scully meets Deep Throat outside Mulder's front door. It is a red brick building with white window frames, and in "Anasazi" (as Mulder waits for Krycek at the back of the building) it is revealed to be three storeys. In EBE we see the blue light in Mulder's window, showing there is at least a storey above him and a storey below him, putting him on the middle of the three floors. There is a rather handsome conifer on either side of the path from the street, and a strip of grass around the front of the building. There are about half a dozen steps up to the porch, with ornate wrought iron rails on either side. The porch is white, with pillars and a nice portico, and there is a panel of bell pushes on the right. This shows exactly 42 bells, although the apartment opposite Mulder's is apartment 43, and, strangely, Mulder's is fairly near the top left of the panel. His neighbours (or, at least, the names on the bells above and below his), are "Slaniceanu" (above his name), "Pao/Hu" and "Dohmann" (below him).

In "Anasazi", when Mulder fights with Krycek we get a view of the back of the apartment complex. In "Milagro", we see that there is one of those nice huge incinerators in the basement, useful for disposing of bodies.

But why is that Mulder and Scully always pull in right in front of the door, and never ever have to go half way along the street to get a parking place?

The corridor between the elevator and his room in shown in lots of episodes. End Game, when Scully chases X to the elevator, is one which springs to mind. A different part of his floor is shown in Anasazi, when he and the Lone Gunmen investigate the gun shot (although, puzzlingly, Mulder seems to turn right three times, suggesting corridors on all four sides of a square, which would mean all the inside rooms have no windows). The whole apartment complex seems to be decorated in cream coloured paint, with dark wood doors and a dark wood strip running around at about shoulder height. The letters on Mulder's front door look very much as if they've been taken off and put on again in a slightly different place (looking for bugs?), and in "One Breath" (when he talks to Melissa) the 2 has disppeared all together. By "Dreamland II" they must have been totally replaced, since they're in a different font.

There are many places to look for the inside of his apartment. End Game, Anasazi, EBE, Grotesque and Dreamland II are perhaps the best, as each of them contain several different scenes showing different angles. Briefly, the door opens into a hall area.The kitchen is off to the left, off this area. This area isn't usually shown much, although we do see briefly into this area in EBE, when he lets Scully in after finding the bug. There is a coat rack to the left of the door, and it has little billiard balls on each "arm". (Why?)

Straight ahead is the living room, which is small and cluttered. Click here for a picture (large) of the set for this room, and here for a smaller one .) The window is at the far end, with a desk (with computer) beneath it. A black leather couch is on the right, with a low wooden coffee table in front of it. The far right corner has a black shelf unit with a fish tank on the bottom shelf. In Paper Hearts this actually contains fish - two or three goldfish, or so I'm told. A reddy-brown leather arm chair is in the far left corner. There are piles of books on the floor, and pictures on the wall. The one opposite the couch says "Royal" and appears to have a type writer on it. He seems to have a lot of antiques, and there is a tall and ornate ornamental coat rack type thing to the left of the front door.

The very existence of the bedroom has been hotly debated, until resolved in "Dreamland II". In "Grotesque" there is a recessed door on the right of his living room, looking from the door. Sure enough, this turns out to be the bedroom. However, the people who said that Mulder didn't have a bedroom were right, too, since there is no bed in it, and no bedroom furniture. Mulder is seen sleeping all night on the couch several times (Tooms is just one example) and there is an alarm clock beside the couch, on a small round table to its left (End Game). The bedroom itself he uses as a storage room, filling it with soft porn magazines, fuzzy dice, and lots and lots of files (amongst other things). thats hot!

However, Mulder is seen in bed in "Jose Chung's From Outer Space", though much debate has centred on whether this is really his bed, or just Chung's imagining. I have read that Chris Carter has said this is really Mulder's bed (though I'm afraid I don't have the source. Can anyone help?). Certainly the decor (cream walls, dark brown wooden strip) is the same as the rest of his apartment complex. However, if this was his real bedroom, he must have got rid of the bed and filled the room up with junk within the next year, when Eddie Van Blundht muttered "where do I sleep?" after surveying Mulder's apartment.

In "Dreamland II", though, the MIB inhabiting Mulder's body fits the bedroom out with new furniture and a canopied water bed with leopard-skin patterned sheets. At the end of the episode, all this is still there. What happened to Mulder's junk is not known, and nor is whether Mulder will actually keep this furniture. (No signs of any of Morris's additions in "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas", but we don't really see much of the apartment.)

The kitchen is glimpsed in EBE, Anasazi and Deep Throat, where it has rather old-fashioned looking kitchen units, and the walls are white brick. In "Dreamland II", the kitchen looks a bit different (maybe Mulder bought new kitchen equipment after some food went rotten and polluted his old stuff, or something.) The stove is straight ahead, and the refrigerator on the right, as you go in. The whole look is more modern than the old one. (Also, the kitchen's grown bigger, strangely). Judging from what we see of the corridor, his kitchen is in his next-door neighbour's house!

Mulder apparently has no bathroom. Perhaps this a wise decision, given how many people get attacked in bathrooms in the X-Files.

he is one hot piece of azz!
