Now, what have we learned about being a fringe crackpot and making silly bets?

"Measles is psychosomatic." That's... wow. That's crazier than the Flat Earth Theory.

It's just nice to see them not always get away with such nonsense

You know what particularly annoys me about teh Flat Earth Theory though? It's a really modern thing. No educated person in Europe, Africa or Asia thought it was flat for two and a half thousand years give or take, and most regular people in Europe at least knew even in the Middle Ages. It came up as a Thing in 19th century for whatever reason. It's just ridiculous.

Adawble fluffy fuzzbutt loves the snow:

"She is very happy when we open the door, but she is easily dissatisfied if we don't come out with her. That's when she pops up in the window. It can get very intense if we don't follow up on her wishes."

there's quite a good chapter on that in the fourth Science of Discworld book, Judgement Day (and now that I've mentioned Terry, we all need the cheer-up...)

OMG that's so effing funny, AND I HATE RAP!
