Al ver cierto blogspot de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme me vino a la cabeza…
There may be a lot of things I’m not good at, thought Vimes, but at least I don’t treat the punctuation of a sentence like a game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey…

Jingo (Voto a bríos)
DÉJEME QUE LE PLANTEE OTRA SUGERENCIA. LA DE QUE USTEDES NO SON MÁS QUE UNA AFORTUNADA VARIEDAD DE SIMIO QUE TRATA DE ENTENDER LAS COMPLEJIDADES DE LA CREACIÓN POR MEDIO DE UN LENGUAJE QUE EVOLUCIONÓ CON EL OBJETIVO DE DECIRSE UNOS A OTROS DÓNDE ESTABA LA FRUTA MADURA.

La Muerte y lo que Viene Después, Terry Pratchet
Ayer me olvidé de postear. Sin excusas. Simplemente me olvidé.
If you do not yet know who the Nac Mac Feegles are: 1) be grateful for your uneventful life; and 2) be prepared to beat a retreat if you hear anyone as high as your ankles shout “Crivens!”. They are, strictly speaking, one of the faerie folk, but it is probably not a good idea to tell them this if you are looking forward to a future in which you still have your teeth.

Mundodisco #38: I Shall Wear Midnight
Leerse un libro de 553 páginas en un fin de semana no puede ser sano, pero lo seguiré haciendo siempre que el libro contenga frases como esta…
The singing of the National Anthem was always a ragged affair, the good people of Ankh-Morkpork feeling that it was unpatriotic to sing songs about how patriotic you were, taking the view that someone singing a song about how patriotic they were was either up to something or a Head of State¹.
¹ i.e. up to something.

Unseen Academicals (Mundodisco #37)
It is known that knowledge is power, and power is energy, and energy is matter, and matter is mass, and therefore large accumulations of knowledge distort time and space. This is why all bookshops look alike, and why all second-hand bookshops seem so much bigger on the inside; and why all libraries, every where, are connected
Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen
The science of discworld
No es, como pudiera parecer, un libro sobre el mundodisco analizado en términos científicos. Al contrario, los autores aprovechan un relato de pratchett para hacer una breve evaluación de la ciencia del mundo de verdad. Se podría decir que es la ciencia moderna analizada en términos de mundodisco. Y me partí el culo diez veces leyendolo.
