A brief appearance in a silly meaningless play followed by the inevitable final curtain call.

The meaning of life is like love. Nobody can tell you what it is, you just have to experience it.

Although we are actors cast in a larger drama we create our own little realities and must learn to draw meaning therein.

What does it all mean? Nobody knows and be wary of anyone who claims to have the answer. The world doesn't need another Jim Jones.

Physically, the meaning of life is to give the process of entropy some laughs as it works.

Philosophically, one interesting thought is that the ultimate goal of life is to create God. Consider that if evolution is taken to a full extension, what started as single cell organisms are now grouped together as humans, who can comprehend and work with most physical laws. If that works out, and there is growth upon that, then it may end up becoming possible for beings to create new universes. If not, their meat is probably going to be tasty to Cluthu or whatever.

Interesting idea. The universe may well be a giant machine for creating Gods via evolution.

The gods gave bunnies and armadillos brains, too. For knowledge and wisdom?

Are you trying to imply that Bugs Bunny is not wise or knowledgeable?!?!?
