In Memory of Douglas Adams

[rainy]

Douglas Adams was one of the greatest authors of our time. His humour was unique, and geeks around the world still throw around references to his books, the most famous one probably being '42'. He died far too soon from heart problems.

Today is his 5th anniversary of death. If you read this, grab your towel and have a minute of silence in his honour.

[Pios]

You mean you DONT ALWAYS carry a towel with you ... I am disapointed !!!

He's probably the reason an afrikaans boytjie like meself can speak proper engrish, wiffout wearing a belt.

@ toke... if you read the site, it explains it (sort of)

EDIT: Yup, I'll carry my pink towel the whole day... mebbe even take a pic and show you (unless you're too scared)

But apart from that, I am definitely gonna carry my towel... it's my Bio and Geography exams that day...

Anyway..

/me bows in silence to the greatest (or at least funniest in his opinion) writer of all time.

The world would be a much better place if everyone had a sense of humour like him...

[TG]

You need to read some Pratchett then.

Atleast we know what is the meaning of life.
