Since ThetaReactor posted a link to newscientist.com I am going to direct this post towards him, but anyone answer:

Like I've mentioned in another post I was at B&N today and saw the New Scientist magazine. I didn't get it because I wasn't sure if it was just a supplement to the website. It isn't, which I know now. There is an article in the second newest one (the cover story) dealing with a theory on the meaning of life. I don't think I'll be going back to B&N soon so I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the magazine and would be willing to type up the article (it's not long...) or knows of a place online that has it (the site doesn't have any of the stories from the magazine).

Is the Australian New Scientist different to yours? I dunno. If its the same, post the issue and page numbers, and I'll type it up.
