In 2001, the beloved author Douglass Adams Passed away, and today (May 25th) has been set aside in his honor. For those of you that have read the books (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) then I'm sure you'll understand the significance of such a day, and assuming you read more then just the one book, you'll likely find the humor (and sadness) in such a celebration. If you head out today, then remember to take a towel with you... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A557093 http://www.towelday.kojv.net/ You can google (or yahoo, or MSN, or whatever) for more information on the man, and this special time of year... On a related note: The origin of the towel joke And regardless of whether or not you carry your towel today, tonight, raise your Pan Galatic Gargle Blaster in honor of one of the funniest men, ever. EDIT: This is thread 42 for me....
