Happy Birthday to Tor.com! We Turn 11 Today and…Hey, What’s This?

Stubby the Rocket launched Tor.com 11 years ago today, on July 20, 2008! And after last year’s raucous 10 year birthday party we’re really looking forward to a cupcake or six and a nice quiet year ahea…

Erm, what’s this?

That envelope was definitely not there before.

We guess it could be a check from mom and dad, which is nice. We’re 11 so who knows how we’ll cash it, but…woah.

WOAH.

MINERVA.

Wait.

This explains a lot.

We’re off to school! We’re going to be so good at Magical Creatures, you guys.

….

How’d the owl get in here?
