Towel day was celebrated today, the 25th of March, in memory of author Douglas Adams, creator of the popular Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

Adams died on May 11th in 2001 and just two weeks later this unofficial holiday, where people are encouraged to walk around with a towel, was created and has since been celebrated annually with growing popularity.

Adams' series proclaim the towel as the single most useful object to bring while engaging in interstellar hitchhiking.
