acroyearYes, I get "May the Fourth be with you..." as a rather horid pun, but I really do tire of great films/concepts being celebrated on the wrong day.
Star Wars day is May 25th: the anniversary day of the release of the first (and most of the others) film.
Towel Day should NOT be May 25th (see above, and it is also the anniversary of Tubular Bells).
It should be March 11 (DNA's birth), May 11 (DNA's death), March 8 (date of first episode broadcast), or December 24 (first broadcast of the 7th episode, which is the first to mention towels at all - I can understand if the collective "they" choose not to use this one, of course).

Date: 2009-05-05 01:33 am (UTC)Star Wars day isn't. But I am apperently not one of the powers that be in spite of my birth being the same as the birth of Star Wars to the general Public. Did you know Star Wars is turning 32 this year.
