42, Zucker!

Feb - 9 - 2010

Say hello to the newest chat Facebook emoticon. Its called, you gessed it, FORTY TWO!

I don’t know if its Zuckerberg whose a 42 fan, or its someone else from the dev-team, all I know is that ITS THERE.  All you gotta do is type :42: into the chat window.

Speaking of 42, I made a Vocab PPT for the assembly in school today. Since I didn’t have time, in order to fill up space and leave a fitting personalized signature, I made sure that one of four options in each question was connected to Douglas Adams or 42, though it was Environmental vocab. This resulted in options like:

  • Carboon footprint- Option B : Footprints left behind after walking in the sand wearing 42″ Wellington boots
  • Utopia- Option A: The place where Moses’ 42 commandment was issued (makes no sense, ik, but it didn’t have to anyway.)
  • (Some word I can’t remember): Option A: One of the 42 breeds of North Asiatic pony
  • Miasma: Option D: A form of personalized asthma, made popular by Douglas Adams.

Pissed a lot of people, to say the least. :p
