Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy

I hope you've got your towel on you, but don't panic if you left it at home; there's still time!  

Today is Towel Day, the annual tribute to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  As you surely must know, the towel is the most useful item an interstellar hitchhiker can carry.  This year, astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is celebrating the holiday aboard the International Space Station, where she has treated us to a reading about the importance of towels.

You sass that hoopy Samantha Cristoforetti? There's a frood who really knows where her towel is!

Check it out here.

Darth Vader does!
In celebration of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's Towel Day and the day the original Star Wars movie was first released in theaters, May 25th has been named Geek Pride Day. Show your geeky side with pride, and don't forget your towel!
