Sapient Pearwood, and on the Counterweight Continent.

According to Samuel Vimes, what is Ankh-Morpork practically made of?

This is a doozy, let me tell you.

[Dr. Bath]

Twoflower bought the luggage from a trans-dimensional shop, so you don't know that the pearwood is from the Counterweight continent

[Ninja Chocobo]

But, the Sapient Peartree is on the Counterweight Continent.

[Dr. Bath]

No, that's just the only place it still grows. It used to be all over the disc

[Ninja Chocobo]

I was asking where Sapient Pearwood comes from, not specifically the wood used to make the Luggage.

[SITB]

Which is still not quite right since Sapient Pearwood grows where there is intense magical radiation, for example the Counterweight Continent.

[Shadow of the Sun]

No-one know mine? I'll give a hint, if I must.

[Dr. Bath]

Do you mean ankh-morkpork, since most of it was built using materials stolen from somewhere else in the city? But you could mean something like murderous, swindling bast-ards.

I think you need to give a clue, otherwise the thread will die a horrible death.

[Shadow of the Sun]

I'll give you the entire answer and let you all have a free question...

Mister Parkinson. His reason for shaking isn't actually said, but it is assumed it is due to the fact he went over a waterfall.

[SITB]

Then I will have a go.

Complete the follwing sentence: "It's not my cow. It's a sheep with a ..."

And who and why did that charcter said it.

What is the name of Nanny Ogg's son who is the blacksmith?

Jason.

I can do the easyhard =P half of the previous question (Yay me!): 'It's not my cow. It's a sheep with a pitchfork. Unfortunately, it goes quack.'

Edit: Hmmm, that would be Vimes right at the end of Thud!, improvising a new stanza for 'Where is my Cow?' (which he'd been reciting verbatim to keep himself sane whilst under the influence of the Summoning Dark) just as he begins to attack the dwarven fundamentalists, wouldn't it? If so, then open question. =)

[knightsaline]

*takes up open question*

what is the name of Vimes inner darkness (both answers can count)?

[SITB]

Either "The beast", "The Summoning Dark" or starting to think like a normal human being after catching the criminals *obscure reference*.

Open question, after my previous un-succesful attempt at making a question.

EDIT:Construct- Actually he said that while trying to understand what the "deep down" dwarves wanted after the attack on his house.

[nows7]

Easy one: Who is "Alfred Spangler"?

what are the official and unofficial ways of defeating a sourcerer?

[JabberwockySupafly]

Using the power of the Octavo,using the knowledge and power of the ArchChancellor's Hat, or weilding another powerful magical artefact, and last, I believe, is finding another sourcerer to duel them and whichever one survives the massive onslaught of energy that wastes half of discworld is proclaimed the victor. i might be wrong on that, been ages since i read sourcery.

oh. now I have to think of one.. hmmm... hmmmm...
Ok, in Lords and Ladies, What all does Jason shoe, and why is it that he can shoe anything.

[Dhavaer]

Ok, in Lords and Ladies, What all does Jason shoe, and why is it that he can shoe anything.

A unicorn. Being the blacksmith in Lancre allows him and requires him to shoe anything brought to him.

What does Casanunda think the earthworks under which the King of the Elves lives is supposed to say?

[Kitya]

psstt.. he also shoes Binky, which is why he can shoe anything... that's his payment for shoeing Binky. Also, it's mentioned that to prove that he can shoe anything, he has shoed an ant on a dare, and that he can still hear it clattering around in the room sometimes.

[dehro]

Foul Ole' Ron, the Duck Man, Arnold Sideways, Coffin Henry and Arthur. They like old boots.


I was not under the impression that Arthur (if that is "wee mad arthur" the gnome) was one of the people gaspode hangs out with

I was rather thinking of "Ron's Smell"..as a separate entity..though that's stretching the definition of "people" quite a bit.

[Rema]

the University is cursed to teach fretwork.

[dehro]

Susan Sto Helit has faced down various enemies using The Scythe, The Sword, and The Poker.


What is the diet and habitat of the Shadowing Lemma?


wrong...I don't think she ever uses the sword...it's DEATH who uses the sword.

anyway...it should have been ":elan: dun-dun-dunn...The Poker"

the third answer should be "chocolate"

anyway...the shadowing lemma eats mathematicians and lives in only 2 dimensions.

Name 2 camels

[Dhavaer]

I was not under the impression that Arthur (if that is "wee mad arthur" the gnome) was one of the people gaspode hangs out with

I was referring to the man whose personalities include Burke, I'm fairly sure his name's Arthur. Discworld has a lot of Arthurs.


What is the diet and habitat of the Shadowing Lemma?

I don't recall where it lives, only that it's two-dimensional and eats mathematicians.

[dehro]

[QUOTE=Dhavaer;2701757]I was referring to the man whose personalities include Burke, I'm fairly sure his name's Arthur. Discworld has a lot of Arthurs.QUOTE]


aw...hadn't thought of him...crap...should've asked for the names of the...14 people gaspod hangs out with :smallbiggrin:

anyway..if the answer is correct, since you have not posted a question and we wrote at the same time, the question stands..:

name 2 camels

[TheRabidWalnut]

wrong...I don't think she ever uses the sword...it's DEATH who uses the sword.


Ahem. RIGHT. When Susan storms the tower of the tooth fairy, its the sword she takes with her. Hang your head in shame sir!

[dehro]

Ahem. RIGHT. When Susan storms the tower of the tooth fairy, its the sword she takes with her. Hang your head in shame sir!

uhm....no need...I blame belkar for my mistakes...:miko:

You are of course right... (:elan: but the chocolate answer was still funnier..)

by the way...use is different than wield... she never gets to use the sword, (killing someone/something, that is) so my answer is in fact still correct :smallwink:

[Tengu]

name 2 camels

You Bastard and Dumb/Stupid Animal (I haven't read the books in English).

How many buckets of coal does Rincewind receive each time?

[dehro]

You Bastard and Dumb/Stupid Animal (I haven't read the books in English).

How many buckets of coal does Rincewind receive each time?

up to 8 buckets a day, all year long...even in the summer.

(the correct naming would be evil-minded son of a bitch)


what is rule nr 19?

[Tengu]

(the correct naming would be evil-minded son of a bitch)


That too, but I actually meant the camel You Bastard thought about when he was called a stupid animal by Ptepic or Ptraci.

[TheRabidWalnut]

I think that camel was named Evil-Smelling Bugger, who lives in Tsort.

EDIT:- See below. Its not Evil Smelling Bugger

Rule 19? Never forget Rule 1.

More fun with animals:- What can eat through a shelf of books so fast, it ricochets off the wall?

[Tengu]

Tsort indeed, so you are correct. Guess that the translator wasn't very faithful when it comes to that camel's name.

[TheRabidWalnut]

After having tracked down my much abused copy of Pyramids, I discover that the camel that lives in Tsort is named "Bloody Stupid".

Now where are my copies of Jingo and Moving Pictures?... I know there an evil smelling bugger in one of them...

[dehro]

I think that camel was named Evil-Smelling Bugger, who lives in Tsort.

EDIT:- See below. Its not Evil Smelling Bugger

Rule 19? Never forget Rule 1.

More fun with animals:- What can eat through a shelf of books so fast, it ricochets off the wall?

...and always ask yourself why it was created in the first place.

would that be the 303 bookworm, only to be found in L-space (that is magical libraries)?


more animals..or maybe not:
Who was Gavin (precise answer only, it's a tricky one)

[TheRabidWalnut]

Its the .303 bookworm (note the point), which, admittedly, does plague magical libraries. Close enough, however.

[dehro]

silly me thinking that was a misprint...

what does it stands for? I'm not familiar with English punctuation to the point that I grasp this use of the "point/period" (or is it just a "pratchett thing"?)

[Green Bean]

Who was Gavin (precise answer only, it's a tricky one)

The guy who Angua's wolf 'friend' ate.

Why did Detritus become a watchman?

Edit: And to answer your question, the .303 is a reference to guns. You see, a gun fire a certain size of bullet, and they're given a label of .(something) based on that size.

[dehro]

I get it...the caliber...
oh well... you live and learn..

[Kitya]

I always thought it was a take off of the inch worm... but because it's Discworld, and Lspace, where things get warped, it was only a .303 of an inch worm.

And as to why Detritus became a Watchman, it was because Ruby, his girlfriend, said he had to get a real job if he wanted her to stay with him.



What is the Housekeeper at Unseen University's name?

[dehro]

What is the Housekeeper at Unseen University's name?

would that be the Dwarf Modo?

if yes, then..

what is the librarian's name?

[Don Beegles]

I don't know, do you? We should ask Rincewind.

What ceremony does the Bledlow perform nightly?

[Kitya]

Modo was the groundskeeper, not the Housekeeper. I think she may only be named in one book, Equal Rites. Her name is Mrs. Whitlow.

THe Librarian's name, at least before he became an orangutan, was Horace Worblehat. This is all speculation, however, because he will not confirm it, fearing that his old name will turn him back into a human. (thank the gods for Paul Kidby's "The Art of Discworld"!! )

Don't know the answer to the Bledlow question so it's still open. *laffs*

[Lilly]

The one with the key and the yelling and the jackets... The Ceremony of the Keys.

Name three different versions of Dibbler.

[R.O.A.]

Modo was the groundskeeper, not the Housekeeper. I think she may only be named in one book, Equal Rites. Her name is Mrs. Whitlow.

Disembowl-meself-honurably Dibhala,
Dib Diblossonon
May-I-be-kicked-in-my-own-icehole Dibooki

Do I get to ask a question now? I don't understand the rules:smallredface: If so: Archchancellor Ridcully is also known as Ridcully the _____?

[Kitya]

She features heavily in The Last Continent too.




Ahhh thank you. *grin* I haven't gotten that far yet in the series. I hope by that book she's gotten a little more sense when it comes to fortunetelling. *chuckles*

Who is Mustrum Ridcully's earyl life love interest?

BSJ achieved fame for being an absolute genious in landscaping and "inventing stuff" but a total disaster when it came to proportions and measurements.
he created among others, the UU plumbing sistem, it's organ (or maybe these count as one?), the gardens of the palace where Vetinari lives, and the ornamental cruet of wich the saltshaker now houses 4 families, or the hoho, a quite deeper version of a Haha (I actually had to check on the internet what a Haha is..)

staying in the same field...

what is the only ability that totally eludes Leonardo da Quirm??

[Grod_The_Giant]

[TheRabidWalnut]

Revlid:-
Eric thinks Rincewind could be "Riinjswin" or "Winswin"

Djinn_in_Tonic:-

All questions closed again... so...
What is the name of the swankiest restaurant in Ankh-Morpork?

[Shadow of the Sun]

I can't remember, but it translates as 'The Happy Liver.'

[Kitya]

[Dr. Bath]

That means, open Question! which I shall close.

What does the wand Magrat is given do?

[SKarious]

Anything she wants, but currently it's stuck on transforming things to pumpkins.

My question: What are the 3 basic questions of sgt. Detritus?

[Nightwing]

Did you do it? Are you sure it was not you what done it? It was you what done it. was not it?

Why wasn't Futtock as successful as Sellini, despite being "a better -ing silversmith"?

[Ambi-sinister]

Because he has such a stupid —ing name.

...Open question

[dehro]

Because he has such a stupid —ing name.

...Open question

Who was Bill Door?

[Don Beegles]

Noone; noone's named Bill Door. Or maybe he's Death. Either one works.

What were Eric's Three Wishes, and how did they get messed up?

[R.O.A.]

Noone; noone's named Bill Door. Or maybe he's Death. Either one works.

What were Eric's Three Wishes, and how did they get messed up?

1. mastery of the kingdoms of the world
2. meet the most beautiful woman who ever lived
3. live for ever

1. The Tezumen, a very depressed jungle tribe, have been waiting a long time to complain to the ruler of the world...
2. She's a bit older then expected, and looks like him mum.
3. To live for ever, you need to start at the begining.

Edit: Just releaised I can ask a question!
What colour is infinity?

[Shadow of the Sun]

Well, it isn't infinity, but it is The Infinite, and it's blue. Quite likely duck egg.

Open question, yet again.

[SKarious]

IT'S BLUE. Duck-egg, if I remember correctly.

My question: Where can we find the "Vox Humana"?

[Shadow of the Sun]

I got there first, but I did have an open question, so meh.

[Eldan]

On the organ of the unseen university. Next to Vox Diaboli and Vox Dei. I think it was built by Bloody Mad Johnson.

What's the motto of the Beggars Guild? (In Latin)

[Shadow of the Sun]

Trick question, the beggar's guild motto is in Latatian.

Rules lawyer a-go-go!

[dehro]

On the organ of the unseen university. Next to Vox Diaboli and Vox Dei. I think it was built by Bloody Mad Johnson.

What's the motto of the Beggars Guild? (In Latin)

that would be berghold stuttley (bloody stupid) johnson..

and indeed, it's latatian

anyway the motto is:
MONETA SVPERVACANEA, MAGISTER?

and what is the motto of Angua's family?

[SKarious]

Isn't it "homo homini lupus"? "a man is a wolf to another man".
if so, what is the (current) motto of Ankh-Morpork, and what does it mean?

[SKarious]

C'mon everyone, it's easy.
Hint: something to do with a doggy at the window.

[Majorman]

QVUNTI CANICVLA ILLE IN FENESTRA*. Or something like that. "How much is that small dog in the window?"

[CurlyKitGirl]

Taking as open question. The answer is potatoes

What is the Great Wahooie(give both answers) and why is it prized by chefs?

[....]

Taking as open question. The answer is potatoes

What is the Great Wahooie(give both answers) and why is it prized by chefs?


The Great Wahoonie is

a) The nickname of Anhk-Morpork (because of the smell)

b) A strangely shaped fruit that smells and tastes disgusting. It is prized by chefs because only the best chefs in the world can cook a wahoonie so that no one is able to detect it's presence in a food.

Question: Name four of Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler's counterparts.

[Dr. Bath]

we've already had that question .... , so here's a new one;

Where do curious squid normally live?

[Mr the Geoff]

On the sunken Island of Leshp right in the middle of the Circle Sea (now there's a name that hasn't got it's teeth in)

Bein' a soldier isn't hard. If it was soldiers would not be able to do it. There is only three things you need to remember which are...?

[dehro]

Bein' a soldier isn't hard. If it was soldiers would not be able to do it. There is only three things you need to remember which are...?

obey orders, give it to the enemy good and hard, don't die.

describe vetinari's coat of arms.

[TheRabidWalnut]

It's black.
Specifically, a black shield on a black field. Stylish.

What was the name of the King that Stoneface Vimes removed?

[Manga Shoggoth]

It's black.

What was the name of the King that Stoneface Vimes removed?

Lorenzo the Kind.

Why was Imp y Celyn accused of dishonesty?

[dehro]

Lorenzo the Kind.

Why was Imp y Celyn accused of dishonesty?

meh...I don't know...because he wasn't playing the guitar but the guitar was playing him?

doesn't feel like the right answer though..

if it is, open question.

[SITB]

Lorenzo the Kind.

Why was Imp y Celyn accused of dishonesty?

Do you mean "What was Imp y Celyn accused falsely of?"?

If so then being an elf or at least elfish.

Name three Discworld specific elements or particles.

[Kurald Galain]

Elvish, not elfish. Otherwise you didn't get the joke.

Particles? Kingon, queon, republicon, reson and iirc thauon.

Who Just Gets These Headaches?

[dehro]

Who Just Gets These Headaches?

Jeremy Clockson (on a second thought, the name is kind of a give away..

who was the late Sonky?

[TheRabidWalnut]

Who just gets these headaches?

Jeremey Clockson


Actually, it was Achmed the Mad, the writer of the Necrotelecomnicon, who perferred to be known as Achmed The I Just Get These Headaches.

I'm afraid I now choose to ignore Dehro's question, due to incorrect answer. (Sorry, but them's the breaks)

Name, please, those in the graves on the Glorious 25th of May.

[Manga Shoggoth]

Do you mean "What was Imp y Celyn accused falsely of?"?

Alas, no. He was accused of dishonesty by Nobby Nobbs, who was making a pune, or play on words between Lyre (the instrument he was holding) and Liar (One who tells lies).

(If I have time when I get home, I will look up the quotation).

[Lyesmith]

Narativitum, Kingons (Or Queons) and Surprise.

Q: What did Vetinari study at School?

[TheRabidWalnut]

Alas, no. He was accused of dishonesty by Nobby Nobbs, who was making a pune, or play on words between Lyre (the instrument he was holding) and Liar (One who tells lies).

(If I have time when I get home, I will look up the quotation).

It was Sargeant Colon who said Liar/Lyre - not Buddy.

[dehro]

Alas, no. He was accused of dishonesty by Nobby Nobbs, who was making a pune, or play on words between Lyre (the instrument he was holding) and Liar (One who tells lies).

shazbat! ...I forgot that one completely..


Q: What did Vetinari study at School?
the public knows he has studied languages, although we also know that he has a specialisation (not officially recognised at all, but still there) in camouflage and is probably quite proficient with several weapons


Actually, it was Achmed the Mad, the writer of the Necrotelecomnicon, who perferred to be known as Achmed The I Just Get These Headaches.

drat again... I should have known better.

anyway, the names are John Keel (or carcer, depending on what timeline you're talking about)... billy wiglet, horace nancyball, Dai Dickins, Ned Coates, snouty clapman...and of course, temporarily, reg shoe...but only for that day of the year.... (some get-toghether, that is)

If I'm correct, I will post a new question, since the Sonky thing was blown off by my previous mistake..and it was way to easy to begin with.

so..
what is the "muntab question"?

[Nerd-o-rama]

"Where the hell is Muntab?"

Name at least three people native, or at least supposedly native, to the tidy little nation of Quirm.

[dehro]

"Where the hell is Muntab?"


indeed :smallbiggrin:


Name at least three people native, or at least supposedly native, to the tidy little nation of Quirm

Ponce da Quirm, an explorer of the past; (remember him because of the stupid name)
Leonard da Quirm..
and Quoth, the raven friend of DEATH OF RATS (because he was "local" when said DEATH visited Susan sto Helit, who was in college there, so I guess he was from there)

[Nerd-o-rama]

That works. The third one I had in mind was Vetinari's aunt, whose actual name escapes me, and who probably isn't really from Quirm anyway.

Your question, dehro.

[dehro]

That works. The third one I had in mind was Vetinari's aunt, whose actual name escapes me, and who probably isn't really from Quirm anyway.

Your question, dehro.

's okay..I wasn't sure Quoth qualified as "people"...that would be lady roberta meserole if I remember well.

anyway...

who was "topless harry" and why was this his name?

[Manga Shoggoth]

's okay..I wasn't sure Quoth qualified as "people"...that would be lady roberta meserole if I remember well.

anyway...

who was "topless harry" and why was this his name?

He was a sailor who tried the "swing across the rigging with cutlass in the teeth" trick because he thought it looked good. Alas, there was a mast in the way...



There are three known personifications of Death. Who (or what) are they. (Hint: NOT Susan)



(Oh yes, now that I've looked up the quote for my earlier question:

"That's a harp he's playing, Nobby," said one if them, after watching Imp for a while.

"Lyre."

"No, it's the honest truth, I'm -" The fat guard frowned and looked down.

So it was actually Nobby speaking to Sgt. Colon - Thanks to TheRabidWalnut for the (partial) correction).

[dehro]

There are three known personifications of Death. Who (or what) are they. (Hint: NOT Susan)





more than three, I feel..

there's DEATH...there's DEATH OF RATS, for a brief period (like half a sentence) there's also a DEATH OF FLEAS if I remember well...there's AZRAEL, there's the "new" DEATH that gets pwned by our hero DEATH..
and does Mort qualify for Death as well?

if correct, then my next question is who was the first postman ever??

[SITB]

Do you mean Anghammarad? 'Cause he wasn't the first postman, just a very very ancient one.

[Manga Shoggoth]

more than three, I feel..

there's DEATH...there's DEATH OF RATS, for a brief period (like half a sentence) there's also a DEATH OF FLEAS if I remember well...there's AZRAEL, there's the "new" DEATH that gets pwned by our hero DEATH..
and does Mort qualify for Death as well?


Good enough - I was looking for Death, Death of Rats and Death of Fleas.

"New Death" doesn't count as he was, as you say, pwned. I wouldn't have counted Mort or Asrael as they are not personifications (hence the exclusion of Susan).



if correct, then my next question is who was the first postman ever??

SITB beat me to it - Anghammarad is the oldest known postman, implying that there were others as yet unnamed.

[Shadow of the Sun]

I'd count Fedex as the first postman ever, myself.

[SITB]

But Fedex is the god of postmen, implying there were already postmen otherwise no one will worship him.

[Shadow of the Sun]

Old gods get new jobs.

He was the messenger of the gods first and formost; he is the first postman.

[SITB]

But to be the gods messenger and come into being, he first needs humans (Or other sentient lifeform) to have messengers. Otherwise how could they imagine him?

By the way, what's the current question?

[TheRabidWalnut]

By the way, what's the current question?

That one :)

What are the three accepted results of replacing eye of newt with egg white?

[Kitya]

I think we need a hint....

[Manga Shoggoth]

I need more than a hint, damnit! I tried researching this when I got home this evening. I think it's something to do with love potions, but can't find the relevent section. I need to look in the cottage of a Research Witch.

(I would probably have done better if I wasn't listening to "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" at the same time. Sometimes the irony of life exceeds my expectations...)

[DarkCorax]

What are the three accepted results of replacing eye of newt with egg white?

"a) work b) fail c) melt the bottom of the cauldron" I think

what does drudak'ak mean?

[TheRabidWalnut]

a) work b) fail c) melt the bottom of the cauldron

Spot on. Sorry, I hadn't checked back and had no idea people were hinting for hints.

@V (and /\) Still some confusion I see... By my count the answer is from is page 94-95 of Wyrd Sisters. It is when Magrat is looking through Goodie Whemper's (the previous owner of Magrat's cottage) notes that Goodie wrote in her capacity as a research witch.


The old woman had been a great collector of such t hings and, most unusually, had written them down; witches didn't normally have much use for literacy. But book after book was filled with tiny, meticulous hand writing detailing the results of patient experiments in applied magic. Goodie Whemper had, in fact, been a research witch (1)

(1) Someone has to do it. It's all very well calling for eye of newt, but do you mean Common, Spotted or Great Crested? Which eye. anyway? Will tapioca do just as well? If we substitute the egg white will spell a) work b) fail or c ) melt the bottom out of the cauldron? Goodie Whemper's curiosity about such things was huge and insatiable (2).

(2) Nearly insatiable. It was probably satiated in her last flight to test whether a broomstick could survive having its bristles pulled out one by one in mid-air. According to the small black raven she had trained as a flight recorder, the answer was almost certainly no.


That is now as full an answer as I can provide.

[dehro]

so, is that the right answer? I must admit that the whole thing eludes me, I can't get the reference and don't really understand the matter...:smalleek: I guess that it's getting lost in translation..

anyway... if it's correct, I'll answer the next question:
drudak'ak means "they don't get out in the fresh air enough, in reference to the deep-downers, traditionalist, specistic and homo-phobic (not as in "gay" but as in the latin "homo"... human) Dwarves

name 3 specialities of Nanny Ogg's "haute cuisine" and one much overrated talent of hers

[Petrof]

Hmmm...Three specialities include: Banananana Surprise; Chocolate Pudding (with Special Sauce); and Spotted D*ck ('My mum used to make spotted D*ck,'not like this')

Overrated Talent: I don't know...fortune telling?

Q: How can you gain access to the Patrician's Palace in Ankh Morpork?

*** I had to put the asterisks in or it would cover the use of the term 'd.ick, even though it is a well-known foodstuff ***'

[dehro]

mmmh fortune telling is something that's altoghether overrated when it comes to witches... I'd say something specific...something that even granny wheaterwax gives her credit for, but we, the readers, know to be the source of a series of hillarious double entendres and misgivings...

[SITB]

... I'd say something specific...something that even granny wheaterwax gives her credit for, but we, the readers, know to be the source of a series of hillarious double entendres and misgivings...

Singing the Hedgehog song (http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/song.html)?

[dehro]

Singing the Hedgehog song (http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/song.html)?

that hardly qualifies as a talent, I guess...
hint:
it's something that she gets to do mainly when abroad

[Kitya]

Her ability to "speak" foreign languages? *chuckles* Or maybe her ability to always find something alcoholic no matter where she is.

[dehro]

Her ability to "speak" foreign languages? *chuckles*
indeed :smallwink:

[Kitya]

Yay I was right! But I still don't know the answer to how to get into the Patricians Palace.

[Serenity]

Well, depends what part one wanted to get into. A mime act will get you in, if you're interested in seeing the scorpion pits, while hanging upside down.

What is the last surprise in Lu Tze's garden?

[dehro]

Well, depends what part one wanted to get into. A mime act will get you in, if you're interested in seeing the scorpion pits, while hanging upside down.

What is the last surprise in Lu Tze's garden?

since I've noticed that half of the post in this page of the topic are mine, I'll refrain from answering and leave the field for other people..

but I must say that it's not a particulary good one...I rather prefered the second one:smallbiggrin:

[Aidan305]

If I recall correctly, a rather silly mask.


And now, something deliberately vague but, to my knowledge, there is only one person who has mentioned the line "It's my birthday" in the series.:

He told them it was his birthday. What did they then do?

[TheRabidWalnut]

Hit him with an oar.


What is noteworthy about the people of Al-Ybi?

[Manga Shoggoth]

Well, depends what part one wanted to get into. A mime act will get you in, if you're interested in seeing the scorpion pits, while hanging upside down.

What is the last surprise in Lu Tze's garden?

It is, as already hinted, not a very good one. It is Lu Tze in a carnival mask.


OK, try this:

Vimes has specifically not been attacked by dwarfs on three occasions. When and why?

[Manga Shoggoth]

Hit him with an oar.


What is noteworthy about the people of Al-Ybi?

Blast! someone else got in first!

As I recall, they are famed for being short and bad-tempered (due to being replicated from Glod).

If I managed to get in first, I will repeat my previous question, which is also dwarf-flavoured:

Vimes has specifically not been attacked by dwarfs on three occasions. When and why?

[CurlyKitGirl]

1: In Thud! He was holding the Device.
2. In Thud! He was talking with those deep-down dwarfs in that mine, geting there, waithing, running around, interfering; all specifically non-attacked.
3. Fifth Elephant: He and his wife had the Stone of Scone/Scone of Stone.

Question time.

Why is Death offended about the State of the Cat in a Box philosophy/scienc?

[dehro]

Why is Death offended about the State of the Cat in a Box philosophy/scienc?

too good a scene to pass on...

because it is supposed that you can not ascertain the state of the cat untill you open the lid, since the cat could be alive or death (or in one case, bloody furious, if the cat's name is greebo)... and it's impossible to know without looking.
DEATH is quite offended by this, since he reasons that "things will have come to a pretty pass before I don't know such a thing withouth checking"... or some other wording of the same meaning.


open question.

[Dr. Bath]

what does Dinnae fash yersel' mean?

[Kitya]

Are you looking for a LITERAL translation? Or just what it basically means? Cuz if its' the latter, it means "Don't stress yourself out" or "Don't worry about it".


If I'm right..

What is so special about pyramids... besides being a place to bury dead people.

[Aidan305]

They act like a dam from time. Storing and releasing the temporal energy.

What connects a god of unexpected guests with the musicians guild?

[Manga Shoggoth]

Well sourced! Sorry about the delay in replying, but I tend to be offline at weekends...


1: In Thud! He was holding the Device.


I don't know about this one - I was thinking of the time on the barracades where we was going to be attacked, bur wasn't as he had spiked the drinks.


2. In Thud! He was talking with those deep-down dwarfs in that mine, geting there, waithing, running around, interfering; all specifically non-attacked.


If you were talking about the scene towards the end of the book when the Summoning Dark was trying to make him kill the deep dwarves, then yes. The dwaves didn't attack him because they were confused by Vimes reciting "Where's my Cow?".


3. Fifth Elephant: He and his wife had the Stone of Scone/Scone of Stone.


Exactly right!

As to the current question:

What connects a god of unexpected guests with the musicians guild?

Hat is the God of Unexpected Guests, and also the laugh of Mr Cleet(e), who is the Secretary of the Guild.

Next: Who was the first High Priest of Djelibeybi?

[dehro]

Next: Who was the first High Priest of Djelibeybi?

Captain Tantony also refrains from trying to arrest Vimes (and thus having to fight him) a couple of times.

anyway...the first and last High Priest of Djellibaby was Dios (I don't consider the runner up who lasted a couple of pages one that needs to be put on the records..and anyway it would be Dios who kept the records)

if correct, my question is:

what's particular about the taste for music of the Patrician?

[Manga Shoggoth]

Captain Tantony also refrains from trying to arrest Vimes (and thus having to fight him) a couple of times.

But I'm fairly sure he wasn't a dwarf.


anyway...the first and last High Priest of Djellibaby was Dios (I don't consider the runner up who lasted a couple of pages one that needs to be put on the records..and anyway it would be Dios who kept the records)

if correct, my question is:

You are indeed correct, so...

The Patrician reads music, and feels that the purity of music is compromised by playing it with instruments.


Name two victims (or beneficiaries) of Multiple Personallity Disorder. (I can think of four, but with my hit rate on these questions there are probably several more).

[TheRabidWalnut]

He "listens" to it in sheet music form. All those musicians get in the way.

Gah! Thwarted, Ammending my answer:-

Agnes Nitt & Altogether Andrews have more personality that is normally issued with a single body.

Lets reverse the question:- who had half-a-personality disorder (and so had two bodies?)

[dehro]

Lets reverse the question:- who had half-a-personality disorder (and so had two bodies?)


Lobbsang Ludd and Jeremy Clockson (the name is quite a giveaway)

what's the only examination flunked by Vetinari?

(I believe tantony is a dwarf..but might be mistaken)

[Dr. Bath]

It was stealth (or similar) because the examiners didn't know he was there.

what was Leonard da Quirm's first invention?

[CurlyKitGirl]

Lobbsang Ludd and Jeremy Clockson (the name is quite a giveaway)

what's the only examination flunked by Vetinari?

(I believe tantony is a dwarf..but might be mistaken)

Tantony was a human, totally.

For Dr. Bath, it could be anything, so his q still stands.

[Shadow of the Sun]

Wasn't it an earthed helmet so he wasn't hit by particles of inspiration all the time?

Open question, if it's right.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Yeah, I remeber now, but it didn't work. The answer to the question is Short Street.

What is special about the hinges of the Broken/Mended Drum in Guards! Guards! ? And could still be

[Dr. Bath]

That's right SotS. I can't remember which book it's in though.

They have been specially tempered to avoid the door being ripped off the hinges.

What are 'Pork Futures'?

[Kurald Galain]

Due to slight misunderstanding of the laws of economics, people in Ankh-Morpork trade in the "futures" of things, such as pork that hasn't been born yet. Because of Discworldian literal-mindedness, warehouses have been built to store this not-yet-existent pork until such time as it comes into existence. Because of quantum these warehouses become extremely cold, to the point where trolls such as Detritus are able to think clearly in one. He and Cuddy were trapped in one once, in Men At Arms.


Who effortlessly pronounces a row of dashes?

[SITB]

Mr.Tulip. The man with the -ing "speech impendent".

What is the feared personality of Altoghter Andrews?

[Kurald Galain]

'fraid not, that's just a single dash, not a row.

[Shadow of the Sun]

Would it be the thieves who try to rob Mort after Mort steps through a wall? 'Well ---- me, a ----ing wizard. I hate ----ing wizards!'

The feared personality is Burke.

Open question.

[Kurald Galain]

Well, you shouldn't ---- them, then.

Correct.

Well, since I'm here anyway, what's the YMRCIGBSA?

Well, since I'm here anyway, what's the YMRCIGBSA?

Young Mans Reformed Cultists [of the] Ichor God Bel Shamaroth Association.

what are the two puns colon accuses nobby of to have waited his whole life for someone to say the word that allowed him to make them?

[dehro]

hint?

one of the two has already been quoted, here, in reference to another question...while the other one: is about clothing

[Shadow of the Sun]

'Lyre' and 'Fez to fez.'

Another open question.

[Kitya]

Ok, since it's an open question *chuckles*

Who is the World's Second Greatest Lover? And what is his motto? technically I guess he has two, but only one on his card.

[Petrof]

His name is Casanunda, and the motto is 'I Try Harder.' (At least that's one of them, I can't remember if thats the one on his card.)

What are Shawn Ogg's musical talents?

[Kitya]

It's not the one on the card, but I said you only needed one... *chuckles* The one on his card says, "We never sleep"

[Manga Shoggoth]

What are Shawn Ogg's musical talents?

He plays the trumpet (for fanfares) and is also known to fart the National Anthem.

If correct: What, according to Vimes, are the most noticable functions of his disorganiser?

[Shadow of the Sun]

Apologizing for it's lack of competence in it's others.

[Manga Shoggoth]

Apologizing for it's lack of competence in it's others.

By crikey that was quick!

And your question?

[Shadow of the Sun]

I generally don't give them because I'm too lazy, but how's about this: What law does magic obey, first and foremost?

[Kekken]

The law of Narrative Causality?

If correct: Who is the only deity (other than the Old Ones) whose does not seem to need worshipers to survive?

[TheRabidWalnut]

I generally don't give them because I'm too lazy, but how's about this: What law does magic obey, first and foremost?

I thought it was the Law of the Conservation of Energy?
(Its perfectly possible to do something by magic, but its just as much effort)

[Kekken]

I thought it was the Law of the Conservation of Energy?
(Its perfectly possible to do something by magic, but its just as much effort)

I think you're right, Walnut...

[Kurald Galain]

If correct: Who is the only deity (other than the Old Ones) whose does not seem to need worshipers to survive?

The Lady.

If not vengeful, what is Offler instead?
