Happy TOWEL DAY!!

[Insane_Monky]

Yes, this is late (I was camping ) , but I wanted to wish everyone a happy "Towel Day."
Confused?
Yesterday, May 25th is 2 weeks after the day acclaimed sci-fi author Douglas Adams (author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series) died in 2001. So in honor of his life-long achievements all us HHG2G fans wear towels for a portion of the day to remember this ingenius man.


"Towel Day: A Tribute to Douglas Adams
Monday May 14, 2001 06:00am PDT

'Douglas Adams will be missed by his fans worldwide. So that all his fans everywhere can pay tribute to this genius, I propose that two weeks after his passing (May 25, 2001) be marked as "Towel Day". All Douglas Adams fans are encouraged to carry a towel with them for the day, and preferably quote the popular books and television series constantly..'

So long Douglas, and thanks for all the fish!

So just a heads up for next year... wear them towels!

On a sidenote, yesterday morning while eating breakfast, I grabbed a plastic knife to eat with and it just so happened to have the number "42" on the handle! This is crazy seeing as each knife is numbered differently...

Huzzah!

Oh, I know, after reading those things I began seeing 42 everywhere... I still do, actually.

Did you realize that Douglas Adams was featured in one of the "Monty Python's Flying Circus" Episodes?... Episode 42

In America postage stamps now cost 42 cents...

A friend of mine at school writes the number 42 on the blackboard first thing every morning before our music classes start. It's kinda  a tradition now, and it's very weird when it isn't up there.

The fact though, that there is such a thing as towel day really does scare me. I am not sure the world is quite ready for a towel wearing throng of people...I know I'm not...and after living in a dorm for the past semester you would think I would be.

Well... it's not so much towel-wearing as towel-carrying.

A couple of topics on a forum or two are on page 42. And I marked a book at page 42 yesterday. There were more, but I forget.

Yes, your supposed to carry the towel or wear it on your shoulders, or so on. Not really get nude and throw on a towel. That might be a bit too awkward.
