April 42 -- Adams' Day (Observed May 11).
The tounge-in-cheek dating of the not-very-well-observed holiday celebrating the great Douglas Adams is perfectly logical to Hitchhiker fen, who point out that April has thirty days, so April 42 would of course be May 11.
Attempts by saner fen to correct their math are usually met with a blank look and an offer of an intoxicating beverage. This holiday is celebrated with wild parties and attempts at hitchhiking. One noted celebration ended up with a fen hitching to pluto, and back, making it in time for the Invisibility Test, where Adams' fen put towels over their heads and assert that they are invisible (this is comical in direct proportion to the amount of alcohol in one's system).Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979
