That this is the year 2022?
I jolly well hope so! 😄
But if you consider the year as two numbers (20 and 22), then add them together, you get the magical total of...
4️⃣2️⃣ 😮
It's the first time this has happened since publication of the #HitchhikersGuide series by #DouglasAdams (in fact, the last time was 1923, before DA was even born)
So, I guess, fellow Earthlings, this means by 31 December 2022, we should know the meaning of life, the universe...
And everything! 😎🐁🌐🐀
You might have seen somebody using the proverb Vox Populi, Vox Dei. What was missing was the context in which it was used:
Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
In case you do not speak Latin, it means in English:
And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.
It definitely sounds like something Rik or Tim would say.

I did, however, learn to play 'This Woman's Work' on a keyboard by transposing it a couple of semitones into a key with more white notes.
I learned it by ear, starting and stopping the CD, then playing (semi) randomly until what I was playing matched what I was hearing. But I don't think I could have managed that if I'd kept it in four flats.
