Counting Flowers On The Wall
I've made some 'art things' to display at the Franklin Arts festival.
This one came about because I liked the idea of someone very
depressed (my interpretation of the song or as I read on various websites someone in a a mental hospital) finding the ultimate answer to to the ultimate question whilst counting flowers on the wall :-)
The Song (linky to YouTube)
Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do.
The Number (thanks Wikipedia)
42 The number has received considerable attention in popular culture as a result of its central appearance in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".
