No, much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, that Dan Crow died in a freak
Wombat juggling accident just before Christmas. He was a fine pencil sharpener
and we shall all miss him dearly. He couldn'f howver, spoll.

I am his distant and not nearly so handsome cousin, also known as Dan after
an unfortunate mix-up at birth, the details of which I shall not belabour
now. Suffice it to say that certain very high-up members of Her Majesty's
government have been implicated in the sinister plot.

This is actually a sentence in Latin: Sator Arepo tenet opera rotas,
where Sator is a title and Arepo is a name.  So, translated it becomes:
Sator Arepo tends the operaton of the wheels.  This square, though 
really quite meaningless, was thought to be magical in medieval times,
and can therefore be found inscribed in various places.
It certainly worked wonders when I used it in my statistics exam thusly:

Who's this Terry Pratchett guy and what makes him think he knows
everything? As a matter of fact, a couple days ago -- and two days
after I read my specially-imported English edition of _Witches Abroad_
-- I found the American edition of _WA_ at my local bookstore.
Complete with cover showing Magrat with about a 38" bust and green
hair. Sheesh. (It definitely wasn't padding; her dress was too low-cut
for that.)

In the UK there is a boxer called Nigel Benn, who has been known to use

Incidentally, Terry came in for a bit of slagging off in The Guardian
recently. An article described the attempt by two people to write a

``Not a hope. 20 years of anoraks and train spotting wouldn't even begin

If you're trying to ftp to ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl for the APF files but
you find you can't get in because "user anonymous unknown", please try
to ftp instead to cygnus.cp.tn.tudelft.nl, which will probably work.

ftp.cp... is supposed to be an alias for the actual machine
cygnus.cp..., and for most sites it is (people have been ftp'ing like
crazy all morning, bless their little hearts).

But some sites, for reasons which probably have to do with quantum,
seem to think ftp.cp... is an alias for draconis.cp..., another
computer in our network, which indeed does not support anonymous ftp.

If ftp.cp... doesn't work for you, can you please drop me a mail
about it? Or if you know of a plausible explanation for this truly
weird behaviour that's welcome too, cause it sure has me stumped.

Amazing!  Eccles came up with an original Theory, not stealing one of

(Full Latin name: Rayus Cheesemanii.  This particular species of
lecturer has the uncanny ability to cause knowledge not to be
transferred to the university, but between students, and usually about
things it has no pretensions about being able to teach.  Examples are:
transfer of knowledge from books [typically TP ones but that is
irrelevant] to students, transfer of knowlegde regarding various
humorous statements between students [resulting in much mirth], and
transfer of knowledge from a student's stomach to his/her brain, thus
causing the student to leave the lecture theatre and go and have
something to eat.)

Entries are coming in thick ( and I Mean THICK ) and fast for the TP
survey/prize draw.

If you haven't entered yet, the categories for nominations are :

1) Fave 5 TP books ( DW/Nome/Omens/Cat/whatever ) - in order.
2) Least fave 5 books - also in order.
3) Fave 3 characters in any old order ( guess who's winning this one so
far !)
4) Least fave 3 characters.
5) Favourite Footnote ( already a surprise leader for this !)
6) Favourite incident.
7) Favourite Ice Cream flavour.
8) Favourite 3 Authors OTHER THAN TP. ( guess who's winning THIS one !)
9) Favourite inconsistancy.
10) Favourite title for the Next But One TP book.

Also let me know which books you CAN'T get so the results can be weighted
( for satas buffs - ( (total number of points / number of entries ) *
number of entries who can get that book )
As an incentive to get everyone thinking about this, also pick a book (
paperback or hardback ) which you would like and I'll pick ONE entry and
grant his/her wish. Requests for the original Carpet People will be
ignored.
