Nope.

Sure it wasn't 'Pipers Island'?

(I checked Eyot and Aits by the way...)

And how did it get its name?

In the past the Ders used to meet on the island. The Ders weren't politically correct so Spies were sent to report on them. This became common knowledge and the island became known as Spider Island.

Not sure about all this - dunno which is worse, Byrons obvious attempt at mischief or the notion that Apollo actually knows something the rest of us don't!

Apollo is merely imparting knowledge that he only gained himself a few months ago.
It does demonstrate that his memory is still functioning though...

What day is it?

You are right, i suspect i found out for the same reason Chill is asking....there is a TWYC event there and i hadnt heard it called that either!
