Like maybe because 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything? Hm?
Is there any particular reason why it's called Compound 42?

Maybe
It's a 'compound' of poison and fire!

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
Also, people have found that 42 also stands for a certain explosive and poisonous element on the Periodic Table. Just a sec...
Oh wait...it's just Molybdenum. Hmm, I thought it was something else.
I remember someone pointing out that it had to do with something explosive...

The answer: it is a joke, meant for people like OP asked about the question of "why" and more people come up with theories to explain why or why not 42.

@Raptorsevens, who should go to node 58425: Yes, that's my point
@Autofire: Molybdenum has an extremely high melting point, so maybe that has something to do with it?

C4 is a plastic explosive.
That must be the reason you're thinking about explosions.
2 is poison, 4 is fire.
Wonder what's the rest?
