	While 42 does have a certain ring to it, why should there
be an absolute numbering system? After all, aren't they 
distributed universes? Then when you wished to travel, communicate,
or refer to another you would have to negotiate the numbering scheme
that each uses. The alternative, a common numbering system, requires an
outside agency to oversee new numbers, and we all know how well that
works!
