About this deal

The Jammy Devils are a pastry with a jam filling but are also a Scottish rock and roll band - whether they were around when the book was written or were known to Pratchett is undetermined. Cuddy and Detritus are forced to work together, resulting in them becoming friends as they overcome their deep-seated racial enmity.

During the Middle Ages, the jesters and fools who entertained kings while wearing bizarre costumes, which presaged the bright outfits worn by today’s clowns, were often dwarfs or those who were deformed in some way - dwarfs, hunchbacks (to use the vernacular of the time) and so were seen as sinister or abnormal.Pratchett is playing with the word 'point' here as Carrot explains further on when he says "An appointment is an engagement to see someone, while a morningstar is a large lump of metal used for viciously crushing skills. In past centuries the English, French, Spanish, German, and Dutch celebrated Twelfth Night, or Epiphany Eve, with a feast. Phrenology was the pseudoscience that tried to link personality and character to head shape which was developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gall in 1796 and was popularized in the Victorian era by Europeans wishing to justify their racism toward their subjects in their various colonies. Lovecraft also uses the entity Father Dagon as the leader of the Deep Ones in some of his horror stories.

And the problem with destiny is, of course, that she is not always careful where she points her finger. Lance-constable Angua von Überwald, later in the series promoted to the rank of Sergeant, is introduced in this book. Page 9 - the very old sharp sword and the ring from the reign of King Tyrril resonate with many Roundworld legends, notably the King Arthur legends.The burden of proof meaning hard facts not circumstantial evidence and the proof of an alcohol like Soggy Mountain Dew - its percentage of alcohol.
