¿Question #3270?
meshuggener: Have you gotten a bit tired of seeing "42" as an answer? Wasn't that "joke" used up long ago?

Jrtolf: 42
BOBBYCAN: It never gets old
oldhoss: You know, I've never read Hitchhiker's. Nor have I seen the movie. I'm aware of the reference, but it doesn't really have the same resonance for me. Now Uranus, on the other hand.....
Woelf: It's only funny when it's appropriate. Not here, for example.
aleo09: i haven't seen that answer in a while. but it could be used for a Jackie Robinson movie promo

fliptrackr: Never - greath Hitchhiker's reference should always live on....
Lord_Kristof: I only recently became aware of what "
DeePee: I was going to answer "42", but then I checked the replies and yeah - it got used up just now.

TMuscle: I don't really know.
Neil Thomson: Where have I been?
sffh: 42
waza: No
DHEK: I dunno. I haven't been looking at the answers to many questions. And the ones that I've seen don't have a lot of "42" answers (if at all). Although I agree, overusing that as an answer is a bit lame.
OsmiumATOMasATOM: Yes. Yes.
Keebler: Look, sometimes you just have to keep plugging away.
Guantanamo: yes
MisterCranky: That joke will never die. Much like the Busen Memo inclusion on geeklists. Too much OCD in the gaming world, alas.
ithicks: YES, YES, and YES.
fteplin: About as tired as I am of seeing people overusing "quotes" to put "emphasis" on a "word."
KentuckyKid: Not tired of it, but yes, it's used up.
richlowe32: 42.
Cut & Space: I guess
dmomo: No. I've filtered it out.
Russ G.: Not if you've read the books or heard the radio show.

defcon311: I'm not tired of it, but yes, it is very old and used.
SkyBry: Yes. Adams would be appalled.
jasta6: don't know the joke and don't read many answers....
brainrob: Don't really care
LemonyFresh: I haven't seen it as many answers. It is a shame when good references are overused, though.

Numskull: A "bit" tired?!?
Gecko23: Yes and yes
scriptorum: 42
javelin98: Oh, god, how many people have answered "42" to this question? I'm afraid to look.

ZombyDawg: 42
007wastaken: 42
axarca: 42

saulsehy: 42
Karlsen: I haven't seen 42 as an answer to my questions, maybe they are a little more direct than some of them (some of MisterCranky's, or Endersgame spring to mind).
arkibet: I don't look at the answers, so no.
ngymish: _Lost_ has made it fresh again. Gah! What the heck do the numbers *mean*?!
