Saturday 25th May 2013 – Announcing: Towel Day!
h2g2 Operations Started conversation May 25, 2013
Hi there!
Today is Towel Day, the day when fans of Douglas Adams remember his life and works by carrying a towel and displaying it prominently.
Here’s what our Guide has to say about the first towel day: A557093
This year, towel-minded researchers can celebrate by sending us their towel-related photos. By email, on Facebook, via Twitter. The instructions are all here: A87792989
And check out the topical entries tab on the front page for the best in towel-themed entries h2g2 has produced so far, and Ask for the official Towel Day thread, almost certainly soon to descend into a surrealist exploration of what the universe would be like should towels develop intelligence and take over. Or something. Possibly limericks.
Happy Towel Day, hoopy froods!

I'm taking my towel and binoculars to Cleethorpes beach tonight to witness the rising of the 
over the River Humber. Always a magical sight

Happy towel Day
how many towels do you see.
As a former member of the SATB (A592102) who campaigned month after month to get a towel smiley I should also celebrate.

Towel Day joke: Two gentlemen in Finland are sitting in a sauna wearing only their towels. they each drink 3 shots of 100 proof vodka, then one goes outside. they are playing a game where the other guy has to figure out who left. the man guesses- was it Douglas Adams?

Three shots? You don't know Scandinavians... 
You need more than that to confuse them!

I must agree with Milla, this game demands more alcohol

The Security guard at my university union gave me a very odd look as I proudly carried my towel around with me

Was in Cirencester this morning, seen three others carrying towels, so as by way of of things I waved mine and they all waved their towel back 
Perfect

I also got funny looks from staff when I insisted on having a towel.
I hope this day becomes even more well-known than Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Should we not add towel day to the list of things on the May 25th part of the h2g2 calender?

It's there - on the paper version the Artists made. Did you mean any other calendar?

I had completely forgotten about it. So much forgotten that I'm not even sure I knew about it in the first place... *exhausted from twitter and facebook*
I wonder if we could ask the curators to look at those pages?
