Fantastic question! In fact, that’s the one that guarantees you the best answer. It therefore becomes, in and unto intself, “the best question I could get” as you put it! Therefore you managed to answer your question not only by another question but ,in fact, with the exact same question you asked to begin with. Quite amazing isn’t it?
Well done!
Only if you really, REALLY want to.
Gozu looks serenely at Inigo Montoya and says :
Yes.
Ah, Omegaman. If I have to TRULY answer than question, I would need to cut all of the trees on earth. Make then all into paper. Then I would have to rule over a billion men who will enslave a 100 million among which 99 million, 999 thousands and 999 will perish in the ruthless search for he with the tiniest writing of all.
I would then have to make him live a hundred million years so he could write on all the paper I have provided him. And yet, that would not even be a trillionth of the total answer. I’d probably need a more efficient way to store information. Hard drives maybe…or tapes. Hmmm. Or maybe holos? Still need to be invented though…
Anyways, if you give me the ok, I shall start compiling the answer. I just can’t give you any hard deadline on when it’s finished. I hope ya’ understaaaaand!*

Well, gigi, have you ever stopped to imagine what the world would be like if only bad things happened to bad people.
You’d have a society where any child to whom ANYTHING bad happened would be forever marked as a detestable, evil creature. Who would want to play or be kind to such children? and what would happen either way:
First possibility: Some of the good people would be nice to the bad people knowing they were bad people and bad people being what they are, they would simply hurt the good people who were nice to them.
And if we assume there are no good people who would associate with the bad people. The bad children would be ostracized, segregated against and like villified by everybody else. The good people would , then, have become bad people themselves for such actions and catastrophe would befall them all.
So as you see, our current state of affairs is probably best.
Does this shirt go with these pants?
Why does my dog smell like that, and why does she keep licking my other dog…down there?
Damn, I had it all planned out; I was going to get you for not answering my first, camouflaged question (Why bother…). You didn’t see it, but your answer to my second was so great, I can’t blame you for anything now. And since my fantastic question/ answer is the cause of all this, I guess I was tricked by my own ingenuity. Again.
You will look beautiful. As always.
Your dog smells like that because you don’t wash her often enough. I guarantee you that washing her 3 times a day and using dog shampoo will do the trick. Of course, It is risible to think someone whose nickname is “The Unkempt One” will have the will and energy to do this all so I guess you’ll have to put up with a dog that smells like that.
You don’t really want to know. It would make you look at your dog differently. Trust me.
That’s not a question.
Mr. Gozu, a two parter: Ginger or Mary Ann? And Bailey or Jennifer?
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?
How long is a piece of string
Why can’t anybody knit a pullover made of tripe
How many beans make 5
Why am I so handsome
Will my todger grow any bigger than it is (9" slack)
No, but “Why should I waste any time thinking of a good question when I can just ask you?” is. And by the way, what’s the meaning of life?
Ok, so there is this airplane. And it’s accelerating for a take-off. And it’s on a giant treadmill. The plane is moving at 500 miles per hour, the treadmill is moving at 250 miles per hour, and there is a 250 mile an hour tail wind. How many snakes are on the plane?
Clearly, Mary Ann and Jennifer.
They’re gone man…they’re gone. Maybe they’re in a better place now. Pats pravnik on the shoulder sadly.
Another excellent question! The answer is, of course, whatever you want it to be.
Some people say life is simply one of the more complicated chemical reactions taking place due to entropy.
Some say that the meaning of life is to nurture is simply self-sustainance. Meaning spreading life as long as entropy permits. Some believe entropy will be reversed at one point.
Some say that it is a time of trial before gaining immortality and punishment/rewards.
Some have other theories and beliefs. A great number of them indeed.
The truth is it all depends on your perspective. As Einstein said, everything is relative.
The important thing is that you may not yield any meaningful answers while you are still alive. Therefore, whatever meaning you decide to assign life is valid within the confines of your own. In other words, you can make your own rules while you’re playing the game.
After you’re done, you cannot really say that there was “one” particular meaning of the game and that some got it and some didn’t. The POINT of the game is to ENJOY the game. That’s what living beings like to do, enjoy themselves. (Whether it’s licking their balls ,having their balls licked or rolling balls of poop). I hope that comparison helps.
So, in a nutshell, everyone can have their own meaning of life and they’re all equally valid. Some of them are just less satisfying than others.
