The Tower is floating somewhere in the Orion Nebula at this point, so unfortunately there will be no squishy chairs to sit in. But Archie and I have set up some refreshment pavilions, so go help yourselves.
As Momo's post probably told you guys, this week shall be known as the Week of Awesome. Therefore, I will be telling you about a very cool organization called Doctors Without Borders, or Medicins Sans Frontieres (I dunno how to add accents onto the letters), aka MSF. Their website is www.doctorswithoutborders.org, which has a lot of information on what they are and what they do. But basically, MSF is a humanitarian organization that works in around 60 countries around the world; they mostly give medical help, though while doing so they also try to help people get better living conditions and so on. They are quite awesome, really. Go check out the website; I didn't do a terribly good job of explaining this.
Ahhhh! The one-month anniversary of 6CLF is coming up! :D :D I can't disclose any more information than Momo already has (top secret, remember), but I will reiterate the fact that involves sock puppets (in fact, I've got another 6LCF drawing with sock puppets as the subject); I will also say that we will probably post something really really cool on Sunday, as well as our semi-usual Sunday post (see, we don't post on Sundays unless there's something cool and interesting happening, or we just have to say something. That's why the last two Sundays have been mysteriously devoid of posts).
I've been reading Night Watch by Terry Pratchett for the past couple of days, and there's a few quotes I just had to post:
The Rust family had produced great soldiers, by the undemanding standards of "Deduct Your Own Casualties From Those Of The Enemy, And If The Answer Is A Positive Sum, It Was a Glorious Victory" school of applied warfare.

[Doctor] Lawn stared...in his other hand he was holding the world's biggest syringe. [Vimes] saw the huge instrument in [Lawn's] hand. "What in the hell were you going to do with that?"
"Baste a turkey, in fact."

Havelock sighed, but inwardly, since he respected his aunt. He just wished she was a bit more sensible about cats. He felt instinctively that if you were going to fondle a cat while talking about matters of intrigue, then it should be a long-haired white one. It shouldn't be an elderly street tom with irregular bouts of flatulence.
~*~*~People are content to wait a long time for salvation, but prefer dinner to turn up inside an hour.
Oh, yes. The Question of the Day*. Hrm. Lemme think of a good question.
*pause*
Alright, I've got three.
WHAT is your name?
WHAT is your quest?
WHAT is the capital of Assyria?**
[Thank you loads, Monty Python--we love you!]
So, yeah. That's basically it for this last Tuesday of May. See you guys in June!

*In fifth grade, my teacher had a Question of the Week, which he called QOTWs (pronounced "kwaht-wuhs")...This reminds me of that, for some reason. But it'd be a "kwaht-duh." Somehow, that doesn't sound nearly as cool.
**This question can be replaced with:
1) WHAT is your favorite color?
2) WHAT is the air-speed velocity of an unladen [European/African; the questioner should make sure to specify, lest said questioner fall into a Misty Pit of Doom] swallow?
3) a "WHAT" question of your choice
Haha! The quotes were really funny! I liked the one about the kitty! :P Happy Last Tuesday of May!
