Is it just a coincidence that the duck-forum's URL ends with the number 42?

Or is that a just another sign for the intelligence and psychic abilities of our masters?
If you don't know what's special about the number 42, look here.
 
It's the content ID of the node. Every content type has an ID, for example, I'm member number 441713 and the ID of this thread is 1294142. For nodes, we could specify a custom path that removes the numerical ID, but we haven't done it, because there isn't really that much of a benefit, and we would have to do it for all nodes for it to look consistent.
