Google's Gematria = 42 (גוגל)

An image floating around the Jewish and Israeli search community is the calculation of Google spelled in hebrew and the meaning of the numbers. Google, spelled in Hebrew is גוגל. If you add up the value of the letters using gematria (a system of assigning numbers to letters and understanding how other words match based on their values).

So in this case, the letters add up to 42, which is a popular phrase for "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything" is 42.

So this is being passed around for a kick.

I am not sure the source but I spotted it on Google+ and Facebook.
