Why
a Towel Day?
Very sadly Douglas
Adams left this reality on May 11th 2001. A great man who brought much
happiness and many irrepressible chortles to stackloads of people around
this little blue green planet. He will be greatly missed and our
deepest sympathy and wishes of goodwill go to his family and friends.
What's
Towel Day?
Towel Day has been declared
by an internet movement to celebrate Douglas Adams' memory, it is set for
Fri 25th May 2001. The idea is that people will carry their towel
with them everywhere on that day as a tribute to Doulgas. See these
links for more info:
What's
London Towel Day?
A get together in London for
any life forms who would like to raise a pangalactic gargle-blaster or
two in Douglas Adams' memory. The venue is a pub called the Captain's
Cabin.
Why
this Particular Pub?
The location is a pub near
the BBC Paris Studio where the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was first
created as a radio show in the late 1970s. The cast including Douglas
Adams were known to frequent this pub during the recording sessions.

Who
am I?
Take off your jacket, find
the inside of the collar, read what's written on a little label there,
this should be your name. Oddly enough most people seem to
share the same name of St Michael.
What
am I doing here?
I know, I've often wondered
that as well. Well actually you should be working right now instead
of skiving off work surfing the net all day.
What
are the Space/Time Continuum Coordinates(Galactic Standard version)?
x (in
parsecs) =
0.8929
times the radius of galaxy plus 3,229,318,937 times the time in millisecoids
since the big bang
y (in parsecs)
=
0.000000000000000174
times the height of the Great Zarquon's left big toe plus 3,229,318,937
times the time in millisecoids since the big bang
z (in parsecs)
=
um I'll
get back to you on that, my slide rule's just broken
u (Universe
no.) =
Parallel
universe number 42
t (time
in millisecoids) =
42 to
the power of 42 plus the price of a good hot cup of tea in Betelgeuse
Anything
else?
Don't forget to bring your
towel.
