Towel Day

Apparently, today is towel day. A day to remember and mourn the late Douglas Adams of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame. You're supposed to go out with a towel and take it everywhere as a sign of remembrance. I must say I didn't do that, but consider this entry my little own homage to a guy who made me (and possibly many others) smile and laugh very often while reading his books.
If you want to know more about towel day and the advantages of carrying around a towel with you, take a peek here.
I could give you many many histerical passages from this guy but I don't have enough space so I'll only give you one that stuck with me for no apparent reason. You might not even find it funny but it gets me every time so shut up.

'If I asked you where the hell we were,' said Arthur weakly, 'would I regret it?'
Ford stood up. 'We're safe,' he said.
'Oh good,' said Arthur.
'We're in a small galley cabin,' said Ford, 'in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet.'
'Ah,' said Arthur, ' this is obviously some strange usage of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of.'

For this and much more simplistic humor, pick up a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy today.
