Today's Webtip: Towel Day

You do know where yours is, dont you?

Today is the day that all good folk come together to celebrate a really great folk. It's a day when everyone gets their towels out and waves them about to show just how much they love Douglas Adams. A really hoopy frood who took the exit ramp a while ago, but was kind enough to leave a book or two behind for the rest of us.

He also taught us about the tue usefulness of towels.

That's just one example, and a very useful one if you ar the type of person to pick fights with Bug-blatter Beasts.

There is a considerable list of other potential uses available here: www.greatplay.net, and Nethack players who are silly enough to try the tourist should probably check out this bit of info.

Anyone interested in finding out a bit more about towel day would be well advised to take a look at www.towelday.org a comprehensive collection of events taking place to celebrate. There are even two in Austria. Which is better than I expected, but terrible in comparison to other civilized places.

You can also enjoy a few animated renditions of Mr. Adams' brilliant explanation of the development of the book. Crateloads of people put their talent to work and are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the winner in an online competition at competition.theliteraryplatform.com
