I'm a Hoopy Frood!

What? Have I lost my marbles? Has a Vogon read me poetry?

Nope. Not even close.

I, like many thousands of others, enjoy the works of the late Douglas Adams, the author of, amongst other things, "The Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy".

So, International Towel Day is in celebration of That Guy. yeah, the one with the outrageous idea that launched a pair of petunias from Orbit. And a Whale; the ground was NOT its' friend, of course. Splat.

Ahem. ITD. Right.

So, on this day, fans of his work (Adams, not the whale, may it rest in messy pieces) grab their towels (or at least know where their towels are located), and make sure that all and sundry know that they're Hoopy Froods.

It's celebrated world-wide, naturally. Dunno about galaxy-wide though, the local Galactic Express news office is over on Alpha Centauri, and some silly bugger here forgot to invent a way to get around the light speed barrier, but that's another story altogether (wrong script, sorry!).

Here, though, you can have a look over at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day, or even better, at http://towelday.org/.

Enjoy!
