So long and thanks for all the fish...

[Earth_First]

So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around you

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish!

1. The answer is:

42.

That is the number of the president that ended the dream of keeping the dogs of war from eating all the fish.

BTW, Earth First, I always tell the opposition that wants us earth firsters to butt out and let them log and farm everything that first we have the earth, then we have the trees, or fish even.

Carry on.

6. 42 is Clinton...

Besides him and 43, I can think of a few earlier numbers of which it's true, however.
