In the original QL if you typed PRINT What is the answer to life the
universe and everything ? [return]
you get the * as a response
which is CHR$(42), I always found that funny
(actually PRINT any undefined variable produces the same effect but it use
to impress some of my D.A. friends)

HHGTTG - The world was created as a program to find the answer to 6 x 9.
After 2 million years it gave the worng answer of 42.
Douglas Adams was approached by a student - "I have worked out why. 54 is
42 in base 13". "What a coincidence was his reply".
I wish we had 12 digits - base 12 is *so* much better than base 10.
