    I find it an odd coincidence that the number 42 is referenced in Carrolls writtings a number of times. It appears in Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, as well as The Hunting of the Snark.

    Wikipedia’s entry for 42 lists interesting facts about the number, including Adam’s and Carroll’s contributions.
