Do You Know What May 25 Is?

In addition to being the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend, tomorrow, May 25 is also:

* National Missing Children's Day: May 25 was the day that 6-year-old New York boy Etan Patz disappeared in 1979; National Missing Children's Day was established in 1983 to remember the missing and raise awareness.

[via Al's Morning Meeting]

* Towel Day, which commemorates the life of author Douglas Adams, who wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- here's a photo of my own copy, which Boss Bob (another late great) gave me:

Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Douglas Adams is kind of a geek icon; he also determined that the answer to "Life, the Universe and Everything" is... 42.

As to why towels? It's "...about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have."

Thanks -- Joe

    Let's hope that May 25, 2007, will bring back little Madeleine McCann, missing in Portugal.
