"There is a theory that states that if anyone discovers exactly why the
universe is here and what it is for, it will instantly be replaced by
something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory that states that this has already happened."

Not so anonymous. It is a line from one of Douglas Adams' 'Hitchiker'
