The Meaning of Life.

I have this board game, Life, and it's the modern version, not the old version you remember from childhood. It has a little computer that you use with the game board. The computer was out of batteries, so my friend and I had to keep track of our house appreciation and debt interest rates, and money in the bank and such by hand. At the end of the game, we were supposed to press "convert," and the computer would convert all of our money and assets and experience and babies and love into "life points" and whoever had the most of these would win. Unfortunately, because the computer was broken and we didn't have the algorithm for doing this, we couldn't determine how much money or how many babies were worth each life point. At which point I said, "That's a subjective thing! Nobody can say how many kisses it takes to have more life points than someone with a house!" To which my friend responded, "Apparently this computer can."
"Argh," I said. "Apparently this computer has the meaning of life, and we just don't have any batteries."
"Story of my life," he said.
To make a Douglas Adams reference, we had a good guess that you need over "42" life points to win, though. ;)
