What makes humans different from all other creatures on the planet is not language, or mathematics, or science. It is not religion, or art, or politics, either. All those things are mere side effects of the invention of #story

haha. Facebook reminded me of this post from two years ago. I was in a #TerryPratchett group that was being overrun with Evangelical Christian spam. I took a couple of the spam posts and photoshopped them into something more appropriate for the group.
Some puns take the fourth or sixth time of reading a book until I realise. It I'd good that the books are worth reading so often.
“[It] proves, whatever people say, that there is such a thing as a free launch.”

I saw this article about how Disney almost made a movie of Terry Pratchett's Mort, but the deal fell through because of "rights issues". Specifically the "...project died because Disney needed to buy the film rights to the entire Discworld saga just to make Mort."
What an interesting way of phrasing that. Having read Sir Pratchett's biography, it appears that this is a rather twisted version of the truth. If I recall correctly, Disney had included language in the contract that would have given them complete control over Discworld, while giving the impression they were only negotiating terms for making this one movie. Can you imagine the loss to literature if they had succeeded in their trick? "Rights issues" indeed.

The wisdom of #TerryPratchett -
#FirstThoughs are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. #SecondThoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. #ThirdThoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. #Listening to them is part of #witchcraft

'William wondered why he always disliked people who said 'no offence meant'. Maybe it was because they found it easier to say 'no offence meant' than actually refrain from giving offence.'

I did too much manual labor the last two days. It was good exercise, but my body is on strike #today
Y'all. I napped SO HARD. 
It was amazing.
#CurrentlyReading my way through the #Discworld books again. I'm up to #WeeFreeMen now!
Oh Gods, the "I'm a... seamstress" scene in #GoodOmens2 had me in stitches. It's just as #GNUTerry would have written it!
"Nun, ich bin sicher, im Grunde ihres Wesens ist sie sympathisch und nett"...., begann Magrat.
"Du irrst dich", unterbrach Nanny die junge Hexe. "Du müsstest lange nach einer Person suchen, die garstiger ist als Esme. Und das sage ich, ihre beste Freundin. Sie kennt sich genau. Sie wurde geboren, um Gutes zu tun, und das gefällt ihr nicht."
Total verhext (Witches Abroad)
