[Groop]OT: more Towel Day Observance

[Greg Craill]

Dirk Gently rocked ! Groo has rocks for brains - there now it's in topic
again.

And in the HItchhiker's series it was reputed to be possible to fly by
avoiding of thinking of hitting the ground just before hitting it, Groo hits
many things and is devoid of thought generally - either Douglas Adams was
pulling a swifty on us or Groo should fly more ?
