Today would have been Douglas' 61st birthday.

Join us as we celebrate the works and legacy that he has left us, including this very site. We raise a virtual glass to Absent Friends, and toast the life, works and everything of Douglas Adams.

I'll just use a verse created by Sir Beatrice in the h2g2 drinking song thread for our absent threads

So here's to you and hootoo too
we make our final wish
come join our throng and shout "So Long
And thanks for all the fish!"

You can call me TC

Those of us who were up late last night saw it on google Australia first.

The week he died, we had a hootoo meet in London. This was quite by coincidence.

Happy Birthday, DNA.
