Towel Day 2012

Men with towels

Towel Day is an annual celebration on May 25, as a tribute to the late author Douglas Adams (1952-2001). On this day, fans around the universe proudly carry a towel in his honor.

42 Is the Answer! What Was the Question?

Douglas Adams was asked many times during his career why he chose the number 42. Many theories were proposed, but he rejected them all.

On November 3, 1993, he gave an answer on alt.fan.douglas-adams:
"The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do'. I typed it out. End of story."

Adams described his choice as "a completely ordinary number, a number not just divisible by two but also six and seven. In fact it's the sort of number that you could without any fear introduce to your parents."

"Kludden" är ännu en av den välkända Apmel-familjen och den absolut sötaste om ni frågar mig -. fast det räknar jag inte med att ni heterofiler gör....

Här nedan ser ni en halvnaken Kludden. Detta tillåter jag endast eftersom han är under 20 år och för att han dessutom har meddelat att han i dag firar "Towel Day" till minnet av den brittiske författaren Douglas Adams som skrev "Liftarens guide till galaxen"

Från "Towel Days" hemsida: "Douglas Adams, best known as the author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, died of a heart attack at age 49 on 11 May 2001. He was cremated in Santa Barbara (USA) and his ashes are buried in London (UK).

His fans wanted to organize some kind of wake in his honor. Because some time was needed to get the word out, Towel Day was organized two weeks after his death, on 25 May 2001. After its initial success it became an annual event."
