Famous Failures of the Department 42

The Department of 42 is known for its impressive record of catastrophic failures. Here are some of our notable mishaps:

Our Most Notorious Failure: The Great Sausage Disaster

When we tried to create a new type of sausages, we ended up creating a type of sausages that was not only inedible but also spontaneously combustible.

Combustible Sausages

Causes of the Disaster: A Study

We investigated the causes of the disaster and found that it was due to a combination of factors, including:

We have since implemented new quality control measures, removed the letter "G" from all our product names, and hired more testers.

Our Response to the Disaster

We responded to the disaster by creating a new department within the department: the Department of 42.1, which focuses on creating new and exciting failures.

Current Status: The New Department

The Department of 42.1 is currently working on its latest project, "Project Infini-Loop". We are excited to see the outcome of this project and are confident that it will be a failure of historic proportions.

We are proud of our department's history of failure and look forward to many more years of innovation and, of course, failure.
