Creepy, seriosuly creepy. (Note: skip to the bottom for the stuff you haven't heard before.)

Anyway, discuss. I had no idea the number had so much significance. Whoever wrote that Wikipedia article must have had way too much time on their hands. But other than how weird and deep this is, and to make this thread valid, where are some creepy instances in your life the perplexing number creeps up?

- For me, I'll often look at the clock, and it says 42.
-Also, my school is 42 acres, and my old church is 42 acres. 0_o
- I always laugh and make a joke about it whenever I see the number, and none of my friends get it. Philistines. It really ticks me off - how about you?

I remember this, but to understand the answer you must know the question.

I was obsessed with the number 42 before I had even heard of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Steal my dreams and sell them back to me.....

I now have another creepy instance of the number's occurrence:

I was calculating how many pages of Les Miserables I would have to read a day in order to complete it by the time school started. So, I've already read 73 pages, so I subtracted that from the total number of pages, which is 829 - 73 = 756. I then divided that by 18 days until school starts, and I discovered I would have to read 42 pages a day average in order to finish on time.
