== Thought on what the Two Meanings of Snuff the title refers to
Well, first, obviously, it refers to snuffing out life. It's a watch book for Brutha's sake. Secondly, it refers to snuff as in snuff cocaine. It's a book about drug wars mayhaps?
* Or perhaps it's about Vimes' aging... not longer feeling "up to snuff" as it were. Or perhaps it refers to Angua's method of snuffing out clues. Or [[Discworld/Feet of Clay|Snuffing out a candle.]]
Line 41:
Basically the only person who would employ Goblins before the events of Snuff was Harry King, who is not horribly old. A Goblin great grandmother has spent her life here. On the same note, a major plot point is the fact that they had a high attrition rate, which considering the fact that they survived as long as they did suggests that they have a replacement rate to match. Sam Vime's speculation of age was simply a guess from someone who frankly did not know much about Goblins. Even under optimum conditions, Goblins are lucky if they live to see multiple decades.
== Nobby Nobbs has a goblin somewhere in his family tree. ==
In terms of physical description there's quite a bit in common with him and the goblins, and his attitude could often be considered that of an unhygienic, crude scavenger with surprising [[Hidden Depths]], as well.
Line 48:
== Stratford is Carcer's son. ==
While he's not the only [[Complete Monster]] villain to bear a strong resemblance to Carcer, he's probably the ''most'' similar, in actions and in other characters'
== Wilikins is an Assassin. ==
