Towel Day is celebrated every year on the 25 of May as a tribute by fans of the author Douglas Adams. On this day, fans carry a towel with them to demonstrate their appreciation for the books and the author, as referred to in Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The commemoration was first held in 2001, two weeks after Adams' death on 11 May 2001.

Death sits with his key in my lock.

Even nursery rhymes have put me in hock.”
