Happy Towel Day!
It has been brought to my attention that today is Towel Day, so...
This is the short article that started this tradition. It was posted three days after Douglas Adams' death in 2001.
" Towel Day: A Tribute to Douglas Adams

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.
So long Douglas, and thanks for all the fish!
