+Rhys Rhysson, Low King of the dwarfs, was a dwarf of keen intelligence,
+but he sometimes wondered why someone with that intelligence would go into
+dwarfish politics, let alone be King of the Dwarfs.  Lord Vetinari had it
+so easy he must hardly know he was born!  The King thought that humans
+were, well, reasonably sensible, whereas there was an old dwarf proverb
+which, translated, said, "Any three dwarfs having a sensible conversation
+will always end up having four points of view."

+Curious, the Patrician thought, as Drumknott hurried away to dispatch a
+clacks to the editor of the /Times/, that people in Ankh-Morpork professed
+not to like change while at the same time fixating on every new
+entertainment and diversion that came their way.  There was nothing the
+mob liked better than novelty.  Lord Vetinari sighed again.  Did they
+actually think?  These days /everybody/ used the clacks, even little old
+ladies who used it to send him clacks messages complaining about all
+these newfangled ideas, totally missing the irony.  And in this doleful
+mood he ventured to wonder if they ever thought back to when things were
+just old-fangled or not fangled at all as against the modern day when
+fangled had reached its apogee.  Fangling was indeed, he thought, here
+to stay.  Then he wondered: had anyone ever thought of themselves as a
+fangler?

+There clearly has been magic at work in the Netherglades and its future as
+the pharmacopoeia of the world is being tested by Professor Rincewind of
+Unseen University.  A dispatch from him reveals that the juice pressed from
+a certain little yellow flower induces certainty in the patient for up to
+fifteen minutes.  About what they are certain they cannot specify, but the
+patient is, in that short time, completely certain about /everything/.  And
+further research has found that a floating water hyacinth yields in its
+juices total /un/certainty about anything for half a hour.  Philosophers
+are excited about the uses for these potions, and the search continues for
+a plant that combines the qualities of both, thereby being of great use to
+theologians.

+The town of Big Cabbage, theoretically the last place any sensible person

+yards propelled entirely by its own juices.  Nobody asked why they felt it
+was necessary to do this, but that was science for you, and, of course,

+A few weeks later, Drumknott persuaded Lord Vetinari to accompany him to
