A little context: Towel Day is a tribute to Douglas Adams, whose "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" books spawned the character of Marvin the Paranoid Android. This song is presumably named after him (and also happens to be the best and most amazing song ever written, in my humble opinion).
@philipnareike :) Over here in Holland we're still waiting for some decent weather. Just now an annual event (an open air get together of internet music afficionado's from all over the country) to be held tomorrow, was cancelled due to possible rain coupled with extremely low temperatures for the time of the year. Last Thursday was the coldest 23rd of May since 1901!

Has towel day got something to do with #Germanweek ? @dutchzaphod
dutchzaphod
@philipnareike Nope, that towel was thrown by the Spanish in the semi's... :) This particular towel is standard HGTTG issue.
