Happy Towel Day

 
Thanks to CJ I roamed my DVD collection and found "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which I will watch later - haven´t watched in ages. And 25th is Happy Towel Day!
And yes. I have it as DVD so I can watch in English. 
That is Germany....
 
For Critters just scroll down... there will be a Henry, too. Off now to make "falafel-soup" as my mT suggested!
 
Addendum:
Some theories on to why 42 include:

    "What is 6 x 9?" or "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" This is hinted at in the third book of the series.

The ASCII code for the asterisk symbol (*) is 42, which could represent "everything" or "multiply."
So the question could be about the meaning/purpose of existence.
42 is the angle in degrees at which light refracts through a water surface to create a rainbow.
So the question could relate to the physics of light and rainbows.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, there were 42 judges who decided the fate of souls in the afterlife.
The question could relate to judgment, morality or the afterlife.
The expansion rate of the universe was initially measured at 42 miles per second per megaparsec.
So the question could be about the expansion rate or origin of the universe. 

Thanks to perplexity, a colleague pointed me at.
