Wikipedia, the Free online encyclopedia, gives a great listing of information regarding the number 42, including a whole list of pop culture references which does note that it was mulder's apartment number. Interestingly Star Terk's Trouble of Tribbles was episode #42...

Well, 42 is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything...is Chris Carter a Doug Adams fan?

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is what you do in spite of your fear.
Every man has fear. Any man who has no fear belongs in an institution. Or in Special Forces.

The first time I saw it on his door, all I could think of was that it is the answer to the ultimate question, as postulated in the late Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy" - and I immediately found myself totally cracked up.
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

Are you referring to the Classic or the secondary season of Land of the Lost?
You DID know that there was more than one incarnation of the program, right?

The Orginal was on from 1974--1977 on NBC Saturday Mornings. (I was in college then--Sparky has told me about the program.)
The Saturday morning videotaped series was created by the puppeteers Sid & Marty Krofft of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters fame. The series was later revived on ABC in 1991 with Timothy Bottoms as the father of two children trapped in a prehistoric land-- proof positive that even highly acclaimed and name actors on occasion need to pay the bills by taking any job they can.
Now what do I win?

I have a Golden retriever and I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
On impulse, I told her no..........I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.
Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned.
I told her no; it was because I'd been sitting in the street scratching myself and a car hit me.

Dry dog food is about as perfect a survival food as you can get...by weight it provides huge amounts of nutrients,keeps for a long time and you'll only eat enough to take the edge off your hunger(it will last longer than the good tasting foods)Learn't this from a bush pilot.
I guess you could of been doing worse than scratching yourself which would explain why you didn't hear the car approaching.
