there is no meaning to life. you are not blessed but rather just a number whose time has finally come to exist. enjoy it....existence is rather brief.

We can't know for sure. We can't even know for sure if we can or can't know for sure.

Therefore I would say everything, including life is meaningless. If it even "is" something.

EDIT: Oh and I recall someone asking what was the answer to 64, that would be me.

By the way "23" was apparently provoked by Carreys own OCD experience;
it just transferred badly to screen, which is shame. I like "The Cable Guy".

re; meaning of life; i know i heard or read a clever one, recently, but can't remember it.

What does life mean to me?
Having to die sometime.
:(

Not currently got any other meaning for me.

Our lives, IMO, are sequences of reactions.
