As Matt is the outgoing President of The Institute For Impure Science (IFIS), we decided to give him the choice of the final film this term, and because he's nice and democratic and that (not indecisive, definitely not indecisive) he has decided to let YOU decide what we shall watch out of a (very) shortlist - Michael Bay's explosions and robots special-effectsgasm Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, or the psychological horror Cube.

This happens every year on the 25th of May as a tribute to the late Douglas Adams. As a reference to the awesome Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, fans carry with them a towel in his honour. Do you know where your towel is?

As IFIS coincides with Towel Day this year, we will be paying tribute to the late, great genius that was Douglas Adams. Adams is fondly remembered for creating the most mind-bogglingly hilarious science-fiction comedy ever - The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. But he didn't just write Hitchhiker's, and spread his talents wider than the endless seas of Santraginous V.

Stardust is a NASA comet sample return mission. Their website (http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html) says this:"The primary goal of the Stardust mission was to collect samples of a comet and return them to Earth for laboratory analysis. Comets are ancient bodies of frozen ice and dust that formed beyond the orbit of the most distant planet. They were expected to contain materials that the solar system formed from, preserved in ice for billions of years. When the international team of 200 scientists began examination of the returned particles, we found that the particles were indeed ancient building blocks of the solar system but the nature and origin of the particles was quite unexpected."
