The Towel is perhaps the most important invention of whatever century it was invented in. The Towel is the most massively useful tool to take with you on your trips throughout the universe. It is handy for oh so many reasons: you can sleep on it, rub food and sauces on it for later consumption, use it to signal for help, wrap it around your head to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugbladder Beast of Traal, or to dry off. And most importantly, strags (non-hitchhikers) will assume if you know where your towel is you are also in possession of quite a number of other common items like a toothbrush or a space suit (which means they are more apt to lend you said items if you ask to "borrow" them).

It's also National Missing Children's Day today... but this is so much more light-hearted...

Also the 35th anniversary of Star Wars release. So yes, that makes it National Nerd Day thankyouverymuch.

Fair enough, but National Missing Children's Day is actually a national (US) and International commemorative day (International Missing Children's Day). I love star wars (is wearing star wars woot shirt (tin old school) while typing this) and hitchhikers guide, but I can't help but think a bunch of nerds celebrating sci-fi or towels takes away from the international issue of child abduction.

@countdown: I stole your child while you were up on your soap box. Don't worry, they'll be back by tomorrow-ish.

@bfoley19: maybe when you grow up, you'll realize how tasteless that joke was...

The joke may have been tasteless, but your child wasn't. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

@countdown: it's also African Liberation Day... you racist.

there are only 366 possible days for holidays (woo leap year). there is bound to be some overlap. Somehow, I don't think the abducted children care that they have 1 day per year to be "remembered"... they'd rather people be out looking for them EVERY day.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
