kinkazoid yeah i was jsut wondering if anyone has ever heard of this book, i dont know the name *thats what im asking you* but ill explane it..
it has something to do with someone building a machine that will give you answers to questions you ask it or something, and someone asked it what the meaning of life was and it told them it didnt know but told them how to make a smarter machine that would know, and they made it and asked it but it took a long time to answer and before it did it got destroyed...
i dont know if that how it goes but its something like that i never read the book someone just explaned that to me

baby satan sounds like something i read in '89 when i was in long island. i think the title was something like: "we who share genders are all the same". oh wait - that was the name of my failed autobiography of the time. sorry, kinky. can't help you. 010618

sabbie dear kinkazoid,

erm.. this is part of the 'hitch hikers guide to the galaxy' by douglas adams. there are 5 in the series:

1)the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy
2)the restraunt at the end of the universe
3)life, the universe and everything
4)so long and thanks for all the fish
5) mostly harmless

they are a comedy science fiction series and very very good. he also wrote some other very grand and very funny things too, but i think thats enough homework for today ...

any other questions i shall be in my office

Sol I believe there may even be a sixth book in the 'trilogy' as it is still called, somewhat bizzarely.
much praise to the lately lamented Douglas Adams

j_blue asimove wrote a story where, over the evolution of humanity, man's computers were asked, in one way or another, how to reverse entropy

the story concluded in the end with all of humanity combining with the last most greatest computer, which existed completely in hyperspace, at which point the hyperspacial super-intelligence/computer became god and said 'let there be light' or something like that

i dont know if this helps, but if you think i am on to your answer, i could look at my personal lib and find the story...
