        He’s lying. 42 is a secret code that refers to letters of the alphabet. It’s the fourth and second letter: DB

        DB is a hidden operation in Germany. It’s a large secret society that moves huge metal objects of unknown purpose through the country. Some people have created schedules that indicate where in the country the vessels are expected to be seen - but when you arrive on site, nothing ever happens.

        At this point nobody is sure what goal DB is after, but many people assume it’s to confuse and frustrate Germans to death.

        I’m not making this up. DB is on Wikipedia.

          They hide the actions of the DB behind official schedules, pretending it’s something you can travel with. But as soon as you try to use that, nothing ever comes and officially it’s “delayed” and then “cancelled”.
