h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes yes, I said I would stop. But then I remembered that the SRG still celebrates Towel Day closer to May 11th. A66942840. Just thought I should mention it.

Oh, and from http://web.archive.org/web/20080822215224/http://www.towelday.kojv.net/ - without the ) at the end:

"There's an article on BBC that says the Towel Day is on the last Friday of May. Are there two Towel Days?

No. The article you read was written on May 16th 2001, while the idea of celebrating the Towel Day was in it's cradle.
It's outdated and it's wrong. The Towel Days 2001 and 2002 were celebrated on May 25th so we stick to that.
We're not saying you can't bring your towel around whenever you feel like it.

I feel we should change the date to something a bit more Guide or DNA related, like February 4th (4/2), April 2nd (4/2), February 11th (42nd day of the year), May 11th (day of his death), June 22nd (42 days after DNA passed plus
Polly's birthday) or October 18th (42nd Thursday after he passed). Whaddy'a say?

Enough with the date mixture already. Here's what I want you to do. Start, Run, calc.exe. View, Advanced, then change
the calculator to work with Hexadecimal (Hex) numbers. Add 25 + 5 and equalize that (Enter) - you'll get 2A, right?
Now, switch back to Decimal (Dec). Happy? We think so. "

How could I miss the FAQ at the current towelday.org-site?

http://towelday.org/faq/#site
http://towelday.org/faq/#whydate - "Of all these dates, the 25th of May turned out to be the one that gained a significant following." So there you are.

Good

Now we can safely forget all about this

...until Ottox reminds us of it all again in 12 months

I just tried to give a *simple* answer to TC's question.

I'd use the can of worms smiley, but I can't see it in Goo, so I shan't.

it's okay, Ottox, really it is

in fact I appreciate your effort
