    I know there’s supposed to be nothing special about 42, but it really does seem to crop up all over. It was my dad’s favorite number before Douglas Adams ever touched it, something about one of his friends repeatedly gibing “Forty-two on you! Forty-two on you!”

    Something like the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon maybe? If anyone knows the name of the effect let me know. Here’s the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon:

    Holy crap you guys: I just started reading Isabel Wilkerson’s epic history of the black exodus from the Jim Crow South, “The Warmth of Other Suns,” and it makes me so mad. So much fishrage.

    But if Jackie Robinson’s story blows your mind, check out star boxer (and pimp badass) Jack Johnson, who was doing that shit (and talking a mountain of trash Muhammed Ali-style) almost four decades prior to Robinson:

    PS, sorry for linking Cracked. I know, I know. It’s wikipedia for college stoners. Don’t judge me.

      Cracked is amazing, don’t ever apologise for linking it. They’re like the crack of list sites.

        That would be listverse.

    “The story of baseball player Jackie Robinson… starring Harrison Ford…”

    I got a mental image of a much more controversial film.
