They asked lots of people from the a stripper to the local Republican sheriff.

My answer, which is bound to make a lot of people unhappy:

Life is meaningless in the "grand scheme of things". A random occurrence, in a random universe, that happened to result in a sentient life form capable of asking, "What is the meaning of life?"

The sooner we understand and accept this, the sooner we can get on with our lives and give them meaning. Otherwise we waste our lives keeping score and hoping someone will get what they deserve in the "next" life.
