Alan Young died on Thursday.
I know that for our parent's generation he'll always be Wilbur from Mr. Ed, but for us he's Scrooge McDuck. I'll miss him. Looking through his IMDB I was also reminded that he did an awesome job in The Great Mouse Detective. Incidentally, he has a Bacon Number of 2.

Tomorrow is Towel Day, so here are a few Hitchhiker's links...
A fan animation of the original guide entry on towels. An epic remix of "The Journey of the Sorceror" complete with excerpts of guide narration by Douglas Adams himself. Another one, but with more of a techno spin and less narration. An astronaut on the International Space Station celebrates last year's Towel Day by reading a book excerpt and wearing a "Don't Panic" T-shirt. Numberphile talks about the cultural impact of 42 and discusses some of the number's mathematical properties. I'll bet none of you had ever heard of a pronic number before today, much less a primary pseudoperfect number or a Harshad number. Wikipedia gives a number of other properties of 42.

During the ST:TAS days, Leonard Nimoy recorded a promo for the 1970's Pink Panther cartoon.
Just a little randomness to add spice to your day.

An art gallery displays 50 pieces of Trek art for the 50th anniversary.
Some of you may recognize that one of the pieces is the epic fanart that I posted a long time ago featuring basically everybody who ever appeared on TOS.

A ragtime piano cover of the Tetris theme (Korobeiniki).
It's a fun spin on the classic tune that's been stuck in all of our heads for the last 25 years.

I've been binging on YouTube clips from ''Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", one of my favorite movies. I stumbled upon a fan's impersonation of one of Jimmy Stewart's speeches. Too bad "hoarse due to dehydration Jefferson Smith" sounds an awful lot like "Christian Bale as Batman."
Judge for yourself.
