According to a hoopy frood named Clyde, May 25 is
Towel Day.
Those left disconsolate by the recent death of Douglas Adams are encouraged
to carry a towel around.
(With all these tributes, Adams has probably gotten more publicity since his
death than over the past few years. Part of me wonders whether he's not just
spending a year dead for publicity reasons. In any case, he certainly had
his fans.)
