    Two questions.
    Firstly, Who was Art after whom the Tower at the Unseen University was named?
    Secondly, Is there any truth in the rumour that the final book in the Moist von Lipwig trilogy will see Moist put in charge of Environmental Issues in Ankh-Morpork, which will include make the river more navigable, is to be called "Passing Water"? or is someone taking the proverbial?

    Hello Vic Bethell,

    Is the first question a joke, and where did you hear number two?
  3. Vic Bethell New Member

    Number one could be a serious question, after all, lots of buildings are named after people. Number two - ah, well, all rumours have to start somewhere, don't they!

    I reckon someone's taking the Ankh out of you.

    Wasn't Art the candlemaker in FOC!

    Yes. Because 'Art brought forth the candle'

    I thought it was named the tower of art as in painting and such.

    I had always assumed that it referred to the "Art" of magic

    I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't one of the Marthter's little jokes
