Deep Thought
According to MxNews (Melbourne's highest quality 'news' publication):
"An eight-year experiment to discover the secret of life collapsed yesterday.
A $30 million computer capable of a trillion calculations a second has finally conceded it is stumped.
Edinburgh University physicists said they had been trying to confirm the Standard Model Theory to explain the behaviour of all matter and energy but failed to incorporate the law of gravity into it.
The plan echoes 'The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy', in which a computer found the answer to "Life, the Universe, and Everything" is 42."
