Asteroid named after Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide)

[primed]

"Not only did [the asteroid] memorialize the year of Adams' death (2001) and his initials (DA), but it also referenced the number 42 - which is absurdly meaningful in the "Hitchhiker" saga as the "answer to the Ultimate Question. (The problem was, no one ever knew precisely what the Ultimate Question was.)" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6867061/
