Ask Wiki.

I asked "Why a duck?" and was quite satisfied by the answer.

And so I asked Wiki "Who gives a duck?"

And the answer was, of course, Faldage and tsuwm, but also it seems that a worldwide group of animals find ducks satisfying. Ducklings are particularly vulnerable, since their inability to fly makes them easy prey not only for avian hunters but also for large fish like pike and crocodilians, and other aquatic hunters, including fish-eating birds such as herons.

"How is a raven like a writing desk?"

The closing top may contain several joints so that it can roll closed, or may simply fold closed.

Q: what's the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

A: The entire Earth (in every version of the Whole Sort of General Mishmash) is destroyed by the Grebulon Leader in a "most terrible catastrophe" soon after this final 42 reference: "options collapsed, possibilities folded into each other, and the whole at last resolved itself out of existence ... the Guide Mark II bird, too, had crumpled out of all possibility" thus allowing Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz to put "a little tick in the little box".

slightly out of context, but.
