This will be a short one before the big bombshell tomorrow! :shock: God, I'm turning into Feather, blogging everyday!... Well, after the one tomorrow you'll have to wait awhile for the next one. But I just realized that I had forgotten something really important! Can you guess? The title of the blog is a hint! It's a holiday that happens on May 25th... Still can't figure it out? It's *drum roll* Towel day! I can so imagine your faces right now! :lol: It's celebrated in the honour of Douglas Adams "A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" The ones who have read it understands the meaning of towels! :lol: But for the ones who hasn't...

(Directly taken from the book) "A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very, very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is clearly a man to be reckoned with."

That's about as geeky I can be... But stay tune for more of Ellen's blog! Tomorrow! :shock: Now you're all hyped and think it's going to be great and all... Just don't get disappointed!:P
