what i didn't know (and learned today) was that it's also 'towel day', a celebration in tribute to late british author douglas adams, known best for writing the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. why may 25? it just took that long (2 weeks after his premature death) for fans to organize the tribute. why a towel? i guess in the work there is a pretty lengthy explanation as to why "a towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have."
in addition to learning this, i also learned douglas adams wrote a few episodes for the original dr. who. who knew?
