Filthy Hobbitses & Preciouses
September 22nd is the Birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, two characters from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings respectively. It is in honour of these fine Hobbits that Tolkien fans celebrate by going barefoot all day, having seven meals, watching Lord Of The Rings movie marathons, and throwing parties.
Stormtroopers, Superheroes and Browncoats, oh my!

A Totally Random Towel Day List!
May 25th is Towel Day! According to Hitchhiker's Guide, a towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. You can wrap it around you, you can lie on it, you can sleep under it, you can use it as a sail, you can wet it for hand-to-hand-combat, you can wave your towel as a distress signal and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems clean enough. Any person who can travel the galaxy and still know where his towel is, is clearly a person to be reckoned with. So DON’T PANIC, no matter what the day throws at you, draw comfort from the knowledge that at least you have your towel!
