No, no, no! 42 is the answer to everything, it's not the magic number! (Actually the magic number is 2184 which, amazingly is 42 * 52 (and we all know what 52 is, right?) . )

Proving conclusively that the real magic number is on the order of 2185, right?

It's particularly impressive that (for example) St. Pauls Cathedral was located N x 666 metres from so many places, when it was built about 100 years before the metre was introduced.

(I imagine this is merely an example of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy).
