How many times you've been travelling in a car and you've asked yourself questions that you wouldn´t ask in public.
Like "Hmm, why the sky is so blue" or "What would a guy that lived during the XIII century would do if he was brought to the present"

What is you perspective of the world?
A place where the biggest interest is money?
A place where you live and try to succeed?
A place full of sexism and racism?

What is your hypothesis?
Don´t be afraid to tell, some of us are people who don´t even know so I don´t think they might tell our friends.
Poor Agi people

What, exactly, is the purpose of life?  That's my question...

...to send me ALL YOUR MONEY!

Is this like, philospohical discussion?  The purpose of life is to life it to its fullest.  See and experience as much as you can.

The world is not as it seems, since nothing is as it seems. Everything depends on defintions. For exmple most people belive they are solid made of solid atoms, well that's not exactly the whole truth. They only act that way when obsevered, when not observed they act as potential wave (Wha'ts a potnetial wave? WE no ones exactly sure.)

My point being that people take a lot of things for granted and really do not have a clue about what is really going on.

Why does it feel more real when I'm dreaming than when I'm awake...

---

I believe we all live inside this big computer program that they call the matrix.

:Slaps Kip: Arrrgghh. When will people realise that the Matirx is an un-orginal pile of dogs droppings. You want a Matix fine

2 9 0
8 4 9
2 9 4

Now the question is, is it orthoganal?

The dream in which I'm dieing
Are the best I've ever had

Because you're insane.  Either that or you have really plausible dreams.

No.  The determinant of that matrix is 65, and since 65 is not equal to one or negative one you're out of luck.

Yes, if you are serious that the "42 is the meaning of life" is a correct reference to THGTTG... because it is not.
And for you M5438- kip's quote is a reference to The Animatrix if I'm not horribly mistaken...
Not orthoganal...
Something I ask myself: "Are the crop circles man-made?" I know some are, but sometimes they are just f..ked-up complex and would be difficult and VERY tedious to make... whatever. Mock me for being naive (but extraterrestrials DO exist)

When we go round it circles, what are they filled with?

Why do we search for purpose?

Why do I find it hard to fight being a human, when inside I'm not always totally satisfied?

Why is the will to live sometimes an instinct, rather than something which is wanted?

Is there a point in instinct, when we'll never find out what the instinct is telling us?

Are our human feelings and emotions stronger than our minds?

Why ask questions, which we know have unattainible answers?

Why do anything in this world, when it'll just be trapped in this hole of a planet?

Why are humans just as unreliable as the technology they create, and then complain about?

Are humans the most curious creatures of all?

Does unimportant information exist, or does it's mere existance serve it's point?

Is the reason everyone's different, just to keep boredom at bay, or annoy us?

Is the world round so we don't feel so boxed in?

If you take an emotion out of existance, how much would things change?

Is there such thing as an end to anything?

Is the only reason we do anything, to make us feel like we have a sense of belonging?

Does power give you choice, or merely take more of it away?

If you were never bored, would you be satisfied all the time?

Is anything enough?

Is everything a matter of balance?

Why does the word perfect exist, when nothing is?

Are humans gifted, or are we just carrying them around?

Why ask anything, when there will always be more and more questions?

From my ethics textbook:

Man exists.

Santa Claus is a man.

Therefore, surely Santa Claus must exist?

actually, 42 is the answer to all questions.
however, as "what's the meaning of life?" is a question, 42 could be, following that logic, a possible answer.

Unless there's a toilet in there, pee and poo.

Curiousity and that sense of warm fuzziness at knowing something the other guy doesn't.

Paradoxial, innit?
Why is the will to live sometimes an instinct, rather than something which is wanted?
We're still just animals driven by lust and hunger.

Too deep for me...
Are our human feelings and emotions stronger than our minds?
Yes, I think love and anger at least, has definately some control of the wheel.
Why ask questions, which we know have unattainible answers?
It's a vicious circle, in track form, you just bought a ticket.   
Why do anything in this world, when it'll just be trapped in this hole of a planet?
Our selfish minds can't see past our own atmosphere.
Why are humans just as unreliable as the technology they create, and then complain about?
One monkey can't make a better monkey.
Are humans the most curious creatures of all?
You pressed that big red button, didn't you?
Does unimportant information exist, or does it's mere existance serve it's point?
All information is important to someone, so no, unimportant info doesn't exist.
Is the reason everyone's different, just to keep boredom at bay, or annoy us?
Probability.
Is the world round so we don't feel so boxed in?
Or sphered out?
If you take an emotion out of existance, how much would things change?
Hypothetically, very much, for one person at least (by "things", I assume you mean "Their life" ).
Is there such thing as an end to anything?
Of course.
Is the only reason we do anything, to make us feel like we have a sense of belonging?
Belonging to life.
Does power give you choice, or merely take more of it away?
Hmmmm, ask me when I get some (power that is!).
If you were never bored, would you be satisfied all the time?
I think another way of asking that is, is human greed finite? I don't know.
Is anything enough?
Osbournes? Reality TV?
Is everything a matter of balance?
Yes, I believe it is, even if it's not always in balance!
Why does the word perfect exist, when nothing is?
It's just a word which describes a persons  idea of whatever the idea of perfection is.
Are humans gifted, or are we just carrying them around?
I 'm not sure I get this question...
Why ask anything, when there will always be more and more questions?
Life's too short to know everything so find out what you want to know in the time you've got, even though it's utterly pointless.

OY!!
"How do you measure knowledge?
By what you know...... or by what you don't know?".   
Did my best Otis!

Edited: because of one damn backslash!

Interesting, and humurous answers, Faze 

I'm amazed you even bothered to try to answer them all, you have my respect 

But when a question is answered, what does the question become?

And what is imbetween the question and the answer, before the answer finds the question?

Oh great, a Hitchhiker's reference, a couple of Matrix ponderings and now a Red Dwarf quote! How far into the depths of geekhood is this thread going to go?

Though I do have a question:
The president has been kidnapped by ninjas!
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue him?

Hehe, that's where you are wrong. This is a VERY common misassumption. Many think that the late Douglas Noel Adams wrote that 42 was either the meaning of life or that it was the answer to all questions (it seems you are in this camp)...
The following is correct, though:
A quite long "spoiler-blue-thingy", but I believe that I've proven a point. But don't beat yourself up over it- it IS really a very common misassumption...
So...[GANGSTA] D'ya wanna take it 2 da zteet? Dawg?[/GANGSTA]
Googolplex... a billion billion? yes, it exists. Does the number apply to anything. Maybe. According to our buddy Einstein's theories there's not even enough electrons to be measured in even a 1000th of a googolplex (someone tried to calculate the approximate number according to Einsteinian theory), but do we really believe in Einstein's feeble attempt to ponder? Most of his material was based on the simple fact that NOTHING can travel faster than light. This thoery was dismissed by Niels Bohr (my buddy Dane) as he found (and proved in theory) that electrons travel instantaneously when an atom emits a quant of energy (pardon me if this is not put into English very well- I'm typing really fast and translating on-the-fly). It "pops" from one orbit to another and doesn't exist in between. Also, it has been proven (in theory- a theory which it seems has been put into practice, as far as we can prove) that particles can influence each other instantaneously across infinite distances(quantum physics- we might be able to put this into use when we make teleporters- they HAVE teleported light, you know). Thus, most of what Einstein had spewed forth was swept aside...
::forgot topic, scrolls up to check again::
...aaaah yes, it was infinity. Einsteins theories indicated that space itself was finite, but since the observations (and the theory of the universe expanding and collapsing) were based on this false assumption, we can still assume that it IS infinite. Therefore the number of electrons is infinite, the number of protons, neuttrons, positrons, atoms, etc. is infinite and thus it will exceed a googolplex. Even 42 googolplexes...
*phew* this was so tedious to write (and I've been sporadic) that I have to go pee...
::goes to pee, then drink::

Pikka Bird has been OVERRULED by Spiff.

I want to know why it seems to me that most people are freakin' idiots.

What would happen if you put a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room?

i still don't fully agree with everything you just said, however, i am not able to logically articulate my ideas.
therefore, as of now, i admit that you were right and plead in bad memory as it's been a few years since i've read that book.
