    Not a bad idea including a ruler. Let's hope the towel doesn't shrink. #usefultowel

    But Rosa, what we really need is for you to find us a Babelfish. The towel is a good first step, but I have a languages test coming up in two hours...hurry! hurry.... #usefultowel

    @Zordon: You can get that yourself. Just don't forget to put the towel over the drain, the satchel in front of the panel, and the mail on top of the satchel before you push the dispenser button. #usefultowel

    Has someone been reading her Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy recently?

    While a towel is useful, I'm not sure how useful conversions would be outside of our galaxy.

    And I just had two glasses of a beer that was a heck of a lot stronger than I thought it was. In case no one cares. #usefultowel

    @Nathan Obbards:

    "What shall we do?" said Twoflower.

    "Panic?" said Rincewind hopefully.

    He always held that panic was the best means of survival; back in the olden days, his theory went, people faced with hungry sabretoothed tigers could be divided very simply into those who panicked and those who stood there saying "What a magnificent brute!" and "Here, pussy." #usefultowel

    @malo-ji: Until you quoted that just now, it never connected in my mind that Pratchett and Adams had two diametrically opposed stances on how to deal with situations. #usefultowel
