Douglas Noel Adams

On this day in 1952, on the planet Earth, a wholly remarkable man was born. He would go on to become very tall, and show us all where our towels are. While he may have said so long, and thanks for all the fish too soon, he left us a legacy of humor and wit that can never be forgotten.

Today let us remember Douglas with fondness, and in gratitude for all that he has given us. Share your favorite quotes today, in your day and your social media. Tell a story about how you found Douglas. Grasp your towel tightly and smile, then join Galactic Hitchhikers for our annual Thumb Toast to the Frood.
