ICYMI: 'Pepper'-oni pizzas, 'Vanadium' hyperloops and more

Today is #TowelDay! Don't forget to bring a towel!
Today on In Case You Missed It: Softbank's domestic robot, Pepper, got a job at Pizza Hut welcoming visitors and taking orders. The Hyperloop company developed a metal that's ten times stronger than steel but five times lighter than aluminum -- of course they're calling it Vanadium, Adamantium is so passe. And CorridorDigital created the most realistic TIE vs Millenium Falcon dogfight to date!
And don't panic, today is international #TowelDay honoring Hitchhiker's Guide author Douglas Adams! Tweet us a picture of yourself with your hitchhiking towel and we'll RT the best! Yes, of course you need to be not naked. As always, please share those sorts of pics and any great tech or science videos you find by using the #icymi hashtag on Twitter for @mskerryd.
