42 on Blogspot.

On Google, 42 has only 1,990,000,000 at the writing of this post compared to 41's 2,020,000,000. Why? 42 is the answer. Only bloggers have the power to change this, and if Randall Munroe of xkcd is reading this, you can reach a much wider audience, it is in your power to change this.
