I got this today....

07:00am MDT Clyde ponders the passing of an
incredible mind and
proposes a "Towel Day" in tribute.
Friday morning I went to breakfast at Big Boy's (mmmm,
Breakfast Bar);
oddly enough, we sat in booth "42" and had a good
laugh about it being the answer to "Life, The Universe
and Everything".
Later that day, headlines flashed the news that
Douglas Adams, creator of the longest trilogy in
history, had died. I
was stunned; it was remnicient of the loss I felt when
Jim Henson died.
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.
Make sure that the towel is conspicous- use it as a
talking point to
encourage those who have never read the Hitchhiker's
Guide to go pick up a copy. Wrap it around your head,
use it as a
weapon, soak it in nutrients- whatever you want!
Most minds in the universe are constrained to the laws
of Physics, let
us remember those that broke the laws,
and got away with it.
So long Douglas, and thanks for all the fish!
