Another member of the team, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: he was the world's leading expert in silent killing. Now, his talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty bomb used to assassinate Hitler's favourite, Reinhard Heydrich. One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Winston Churchill selected them because they were wildly creative and thoroughly ungentlemanly. The guerrilla campaign that followed was to prove every bit as extraordinary as the six gentlemen who directed it. In the spring of 1939, a top secret organisation was founded in London: its purpose was to plot the destruction of Hitler's war machine through spectacular acts of sabotage. Six gentlemen, one goal - the destruction of Hitler's war machine So begins Rober Fagles magnificent translation of The Odyssey, which Jasper Griffin in The New York Review of Books hails as "a distinguished achievement." If The Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, then The Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey through life. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox observes in his superb introduction that although the violence of The Iliad is gripping and relentless, it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace. The Iliad is a timeless poem that still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to its wrenching, tragic conclusion. Thus begins the stirring story of the Trojan War and the rage of Achilles that has gripped listeners and readers for 2,700 years. And the list of people crazy about 42 goes on. Elon Musk, a tech nerd himself, had the number 42 painted on the SpaceX’s Starship prototype. In other words, “anything you want it to be”. So, when Deep Thought was asked what the true meaning of life was, it answered as you might think a computer would: “42”. For example, in ASCII language, it is the designation for an asterisk. It’s not that Google engineers have gone crazy, it’s just that the number 42 is particularly significant to computer science nerds around the world.Ĥ2 is a bit of a magic number. But still, try typing “the answer to life, the Universe and everything” in Google search. It clearly wasn’t processed on the cloud…perhaps on an Arduino. According to Wikipedia –a source we all believe in blindly–, the number 42 is, in Douglas Adams’ novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer called Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years.

Curiosity killed the cat … he didn’t know what cat or how curiosity afflicted it, but the phrase seemed appropriate in this circumstance. When he disappeared through the doorway with no explanation, Vine shrugged and continued pouring Skittles into the glass bowl on the table, trying to ignore the new buzz Zero had created between Mace, Nikki, Winter, Vegan, Glimmer, and Raven. Vine raised his head and watched as the pale Halfling breezed through the crowded kitchen and into the empty living room.
