The Towel is perhaps the most important invention of whatever
century it was invented in. The Towel is the most
massively useful tool to take with you on your trips throughout the
universe. It is handy for oh so many reasons: you can sleep on it,
rub food and sauces on it for later consumption, use it to signal
for help, wrap it around your head to avoid the gaze of the
Ravenous Bugbladder Beast of Traal, or to dry off. And most
importantly, strags (non-hitchhikers) will assume if you
know where your towel is you are also in possession of quite a
number of other common items like a toothbrush or a space suit
(which means they are more apt to lend you said items if you ask to
"borrow" them).
Our Towel is black, rectangular, and made of velour. It is based
on the award-winning design of the Anti-Flatulent Fighting Towels
of Flogulon Beta, with a little clip in the corner to attach it to
things. It measures 16" X 25" and has the number 42 imprinted on it
for some random reason (apparently the printer had a special
affinity for the product of 6 and 7). But seriously, you need this Towel.
Because if you have one, everyone will look at you and say,
"There's a frood who really knows where his towel is," which is
perhaps one of the nicest things someone can say about you.
And don't forget: May 25th is officially Towel Day. It is a
tribute to a mostly harmless author named Douglas Adams.
WE NEED TO CELEBRATE TOWEL DAY!!!
This is basically copied from a think geek thingy for a towel. Yup!! I know you all got an email from Maren about the Marvel Marathon so....Yeah but you know....THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
