Happy Birthday, Douglas Adams! Your wit and wisdom continue to guide us through galaxies far away—and remind us never to panic. From hitchhiking across the universe with towels in hand, you've taught generations that life's absurdities are best faced with humor.Your insightful journey documented in "Last Chance to See" still inspires countless readers today—reminding everyone of our planet's precious wonders (and how easily we misplace them). May your birthday be filled not only with laughter but also plenty of tea—or perhaps a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster—to toast another year around this mostly harmless sun!
