Oh Skip, your 'cuckoo' thing on 'Chocolate' reminded on this great one:

"The Duke's mind was like a clock. And like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo." - From WS.

L Space Web itself is a very good site, I like the quotes, annotations of all Pratchett books, and the Unseen University challenge.

"We're on a mission from Glod" from soul music.

The dwarfish war cry in Guards! Guards! "Nee naw, nee naw, nee naw."

Brilliant stuff.

You like the Watch and dwarfish stuff?, how about
'Today is a Good Day for someone else to Die!'
'FOC', I think.

You should read that one. I found it using the Helio search engine.
Think Daniel being curious (since when is he not?)
Think Luggage........

Sci-Fi16 · 3rd April 2001, 04:34 PM

Hahaha! Too right!
Say, Gilrean, if you're into Fan Fiction at all, that one is pretty good.
Just thought I'd include someone else. Not everyone knows of Helio.

The Scone of Stone was probably inspired by the Stone of Scone (Destiny) stolen from the sacred soil of Scotland by Edward Longshanks and stuck in Westminster Abbey. It was kept at Scone (near Perth) for centuries. Legend tells that it was Jacob's pillow brought from Egypt to Ireland by Scota, an egyptian princess. It's supposed to roar if any but the true King of Scots sits on it, but having been warmed by ample Hannoverian arses for centuries, we can discount this one. It was returned to Scotland by John Major in a pathetic attempt to revive Conservative fortunes North of the border. (weeks before the general election which wiped out Scotland's Tory MPs.) Pratchett's "thing and whole of the thing symbol," may refer to the theory that the stolen stone was not the original.

Granny's eyes gleamed in the dusk.
Nanny knew enough to fling herself to the ground.
Granny Weatherwax's hand curved through the air like a comet and the spark flew out, crackling.
The bonfire exploded. A blue-white flame shot up through the stacked branches and danced into the sky, etching shadows on the forest. It blew off hats and overturned tables and formed figures and castles and scenes from famous battles and joined hands and danced in a ring. It left a purple image on the eye that burned into the brain.
