== Other ==
* The short film "Run Rincewind Run!" is a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] addressed from Discworld's fans ''to'' Terry Pratchett.▼
 
== Characters who are mentioned but never appear ==
 
* Anything involving [[Bungling Inventor|Bloody Stupid Johnson]], or the remarkable lateral thinking of Ankh-Morpork citizens.
** The "Improved Manicure Device", now used for peeling potatoes at Unseen University.
** "Retrophrenology": if the bumps in your head indicate your personality traits, then changing them will affect your character. In practice, this just means getting thumped with a variety of differently-sized hammers, but it provides work and it keeps the money circulating, and that's the important thing.
** Archchancellor Ridcully, in ''[[Hogfather]]'', taking a shower in a bathroom designed by Johnson. He made the mistake of pressing the tap marked "Old Faithful," and had a bit of trouble walking for a while afterwards.
{{quote|"Ye gods, I've never felt so ''clean''."}}
** The landscaping Bloody Stupid did for the palace garden, which included a 150 yard by 1 inch trout lake (home to one thin trout, who presumably would be periodiatelyperiodically turned around by the gardeners). The perimeter is presumably denotated by a hoho, [[Stealth Pun|i.e. 50 feet deep haha]]. Claimed three palace gardener's lives, and once trapped the Head of the Assassin's Guild.
** Oh God, the Palace Gardens. The passage about the exploding sundial and the ornamental fountain / ''surface-to-air missile launcher'' nearly ''killed'' this troper.
