Did you ever see pictures of gurus on top of mountains with folded legs, fingers meshed, half-closed eyelids and an expression of utter serenity? The way it is usually portrayed is that he is being sought out by the young person who climbs the mountain to ask "oh guru, oh guru, I have climbed this mountain to come to ask you what is the secret to life!"
The answer is obviously, as any self-respecting mountaintop guru will tell you, "Horns".
If the young person had asked for the "Ultimate Answer to Life and Everything", he would have gotten a different number, but he didn't so he got the lesser answer - "horns". But in my book, if you have gotten to horns you can be considered to have led a pretty successful life. Only years (7.5 million of them?) of mountain-top guruing get you to the next level.
