Aye, happy Towel Day - mine is close at hand!

Got mine here, right next to me..

Towels are not actually very useful for computers it seems to me, except for (1) noise damping (place towel between PC and floor), (2) stopping an overheating laptop burning one's bits. And, actually, those things aren't nothing.

Not so.. properly folded, they make brilliant extra padding on the seat of your computer chair.. happy bums are important.

And in hot weather when you're going shirtless, you can drape 'em over the back of the chair as well.. it helps soak up sweat, preventing stains on the chair fabric, and makes things more comfortable in general.

Good tips!

Well if you are like me and suffer from Lochsa Madness you'll definitely need one. Apparently the writers of the guide who classified earth as mostly harmless never tried this.

Got mine.

Don't forget -


The Ravenous Bug-blatter Beast Of Trall is not a beast you would want to pick a fight with. Unless you have a death-wish that is. Fortunately, it so happens that the Ravenous Bug-blatter Beast Of Trall is particularly stupid, meaning if you can't see it, it can't see you. If confronted by a Ravenous Bug-blatter Beast Of Trall, cover your head with your towel, so obscuring your view of it completey and the beast will stomp off in search of prey that does not spontaniously disappear into thin air.
