It's Earth's Very Own Day!
And you know us Castle Earth types... we love our games. (And our showers, but that's for another time.)
In celebration of the day, I'll be posting up some
Earth themed this-and-thats here throughout the day. I'll post the last set before midnight EDT-US (4 AM UTC), and take answers until the following midnight. Send your answers to The Silken Knot via PM, unless the description for a task says to post them. I will take partial answers (example, just A in the first question, them maybe the others later), but once you've sent an answer to me, it's locked in-- no changes.
Scoring for each task will be noted in the descriptions.
And what's in it for you, you ask?
- • MAGIC INTERNET POINTS. I know how you love your points. Get more here!
• Fun, glory, arcane knowledge, and, most importantly, BRAGGING RIGHTS.
• A wee GIFT CERTIFICATE from Earth's most customer centric company.
• A wee DONATION in your name to water.org, or the environmental charity of your choice.
Isn't that almost as good as being in Castle Earth?
Almost.

I can't see how two pieces of bread isn't me, regardless of what happens to be smeared on them.

Seedless Rhye? Sacrilege!
Plus, you were never on Castle Earth. That should help you narrow it down.

A classic. Well done!
∞ TSK chooses to take that as an answer, and not a commentary on the cl00bies' morning activities... ∞

Yes, Earth is a AMAZING Castle...
Choose either or both. 100 points for the biggie, 15 for the small... plus 10 points each for finishing first. And correctly.

Wow. I only started to solve puzzles because there were puzzles to solve and didn't notice the FABULOUS PRIZES involved.
While
water.org is a great organization, and is enough of a kicker to see an
earth player donating to, as a musician and an erstwhile
Virtue member, I'd love to promote the
Virtu Foundation http://www.virtufound.org which provides musical instruments to those who can't afford them. Additionally I'll be happy to match TSK's donation (or will donate to HER selected charity) for putting together a great pre-Passover puzzler!

I should've taken some of the freebies, but I was too exhausted after solving the big maze
Happy Earth/Virtue/Water/Clean Air Act, etc. day to all.

Ok. So water.org as well as virtufound.org have received donations. Anyone want to join in the fund, maybe with an
AIR charity like aircharitynetwork.org? Or maybe even the Earl
BANE foundation?

Every cup of coffee that you drink razes and rapes mother earth.
