Zen Dinosaurs

42

Tao gave birth to One,
One gave birth to Two,
Two gave birth to Three,
Three gave birth to all the myriad things.

All the myriad things carry the Yin on their backs and
hold the Yang in their embrace,
Deriving their vital harmony from the proper blending
of the two vital Breaths.

I have long wondered if Douglas Adams didn't intentionally choose 42 as the Answer to the Question of Life, the Universe and Everything because of the Tao Te Ching. Above is chapter 42. Is it only coincidence? Douglas Adams seemed like a Zen Dinosaur to me.

Meanwhile, my number series (all the myriad things):
1 - Tao
2 - Yin Yang
3 - mind, body, spirit
4 - north, south, east, west
4 - (alt) john, paul, george, ringo
5 - wood, fire, earth, metal, water
5 - (alt) sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch
6 - degrees of separation
7 - days of the week, yada, yada, yada
8 - to the bar
9 - planets
10 - most wanted

i know there are other lists.

breathe.
evolve.
laugh.
