Thanks, was not familiar with that one. That Loki always was a trouble-maker! He never should have been invited.

Amusingly, he crashed. Go fig!

This number 13 is well known has a lot of superstition attached to it..many scary movies, Friday 13th and how many lift in big building missing the number 13.

At work we had a discussion about this #13 and many say that it is actually a lucky number.

Yeah, I think in Scotland it's supposed to be lucky.

Thirteen got its bad reputation (supposedly) because of the number of people at the Last Supper: Jesus and the 12 disciples ... and look how that turned out. Unlucky for Jesus, some might say.

But very lucky for the rest of us ...

There is also a strong tie to Norse Mythology and a story where Loki arrived as the 13th guest at a feast in Valhalla and tricked another guest into murdering the god Baldur. Clearly pre-Christianity, but the oldies are the goodies, so they say.

I learn something new here, I did not know both the stories until now.

Ditto! The answer to Ultimate Question...

So...what 42 mean? It is the answer, but what it is?

I think it means....life is a wonder & quoting Forest Gump's mother - life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get

Now, I know. I did not know this before

It's from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe Galaxy." The computer comes up with "42" as the ultimate meaning of life.

It's just a ridiculous joke.

37. It’s the atomic number of my favourite element.

Now I know why @electrycmonk used to have "42!" In his signature.
