Hey folks, I again :laugh:
Could someone help me listing of Hex's parts 'chronologically'?

As in, how did he start of, what is the when it comes to parts, when where they first mentioned and when did one part take the place of another. (and please, correct me if i'm wrong)

I have
Glasstubes with Ants and cardboardthingies (SM)
Glasstubes, Ants, Cardboard replaced by keyboard, unreal time clock (IT)
Quill and Paper replacing dice with occult symbols (LC)
FTB(HF)
what about the mouse, eggtimer and bees (which were used for data storage).

Yeah he did, and that is why FTB was in the list (Thier abbreviation for it, thinking that telling their seniors it only worked when it had it's fluffy teddy bear with it. So they called it the FTB.)

hooray, another book, another question! :)

again, a reference to a name i don't get:

Making Money, the scene where Cribbins is reading papers and talks to the nun who speaks about that god-of-the-month club.

(paraphrased)
"What'sh your name, shishter?" "Berenice", she said, "Berenice, er, Houser."
'I see you're not using the bastard's name anymore', he thought.


...Who are they (not) talking about?

:laugh: I don't even remember that bit. I probably tried to forget it.

But Berenice isn't a nun, Cribbins is calling her 'sister' because he is pretenting to be a member of the clergy and therefore would refer to any woman as 'sister'. Berenice actually works for the Ankh-Morpork Times.

She is divorced and possibly Cribbins knew her ex husband - hence his comment to himself. o_O
