So, I've been wondering about this for some time. My question is what did the 'Organ Interlock' lever do when Ridcully pulled it in the bathroom he had opened...
I always assumed it connected the water pipes to the organ in some way so that when the organ was at full blast the water was too ... from every direction ......
Right, I got that, but what was so terrible it made him seal the bathroom up again? Should I be focusing on your words 'from every direction'? Jeremy ... way...
... That may help - also consider that the water will be agitated by the ultrasonic, supersonic, sonic and subsonic vibrations from BS Johnson's mighty organ. ...
Also, remember, these are *humour*-laden books. Sometimes a writer gets that extra grin from a reader by pushing a joke into hyperbole. So if I said, "My...
Does anybody else wish the Ptraci would come to Ankh-Morpork on a state visit, or that Teppic would turn up somewhere? I enjoyed _The Last Hero_; while the...
Definitely agree about Teppic, he could be the head of the Watch's new SWAT team to assuage his morals about killing people he doesn't know. I would also love...
Lilith was a bad-guy, she's unlitkely to want to help anyone. Maybe revenge, but I doubt she'll get out of that mirror maze she got herself into. Teppic was...
To add to Yasmin's best cameo list - Nobby in Hogfather! As for other characters - whatever happened to Eskarina Smith? Andn ot just a character but a couple...
... Want? Surely she would have to respond to a summoning from her beloved sister. Pterry is the master as twisting a plot so that the two of them would have...
... I am waiting to ... Good point Ben. The clacks is supposed to be unofficially connecting to the Empire, isn't it? Getting it to Fourecks might be a bit...
Looking at the discworld map: there is no way to get a clacks connection to XXXX - too much sea in between. as for the agatean empire - good question, but the...
... I know I'm a bit like a Troll in a heatwave at the moment, but how exactly does the sea prevent clacks? We're not talking about a globe here. Its...
... Size is still a problem - it will have to be one heck of a beacon to be seen across that mach distance. You can't shorten it because you can't build a...
... Hmmmm this needs expert consideration. I'm thinking that if we can see the Space Station with naked eye from 220 miles below with lots of air pollution and...
Word back from Kevin. Well, several hundred words to be honest. I'll keep it short, shall I? Restricting transmission to light at night-time is the first step....
I was thinking about that on Wednesday night while watching shooting stars. I think the key here is that straight up you are only looking through a couple of...
Perhaps the answer is to set up a gigantic clacks tower either on the top of the Tower of Art, or work out a deal with the Gods and put it on Dunmanifestin...
... Are you kidding? This could revolutionise the religion business. Guaranteed delivery of prayers *and* answers to prayers. ... Priests of any god who failed...
To Martin - it's easier to believe in a god that doesn't answer prayers or actually does anything (providing the god doesn't barge in at night drunk). To Zark...
as some of you are aware, Yahoo, (AKA yahell) has made some changes to the groups format. While some are harmless and some are damn right annoying, we have a...
We'll just have to hope he sees the message, because although he was a regular poster when I first started lurking here, it's an awful long time since he's...
As you say Yasmin we need new blood! I didn't realise that all posts were now moderated but that may account for why I don't see posts of mine on some groups...
I'll have a rat-on-a-stick with ketchup. Anyone for a drink? I'll have mine in the usual wooden tankard ;) Sue. [Non-text portions of this message have been...
