Terry in the Media

There we go with his height. There's too many tall reporters. 
I'd say that the water that falls off the disc freezes and floats around disc in space, turbulated by the turtle's flippers and the gravitational pull of the sunlet and moonlet, until it's sucked back onto the disk by the gravitational pull near the Rim, or near Cori Celesti, where it turns into rain or snow (and then glacier fed rivers) respectivly.
Do I think about this stuff too much?

Argh, that interview in the Telegraph was annoying! :twisted: How can it be possible for a journalist to attempt to make someone appear as nutty as possible and then go on to say they wouldn't have noticed he had PCA?! That's about one step away from "but you don't look sick"... and if I was (were?) Terry, that's about half a step from being thwacked in the shins with the cane!
I liked the article in the New Scientist though, although still don't get the obsession with having to state how tall someone is

No it's not small - I suppose its to give people an idea that have not looked at a photo of Pratchett.
If Terry would I am sure he'd set up a real Campaign for Equal Heights.

the reason the houses in Amsterdam are so thin is that there was once a tax on the width of the house (centuries ago) so being Dutch we build our houses as thin as possible and as tall as possible coz there was no tax on tall buildings
btw I'm 196cm

Crysania - I'm 5ft 2 ins 157 cms but I'll let you eat rice over me if it'll make you feel better!
Aren't the Dutch now officially the tallest nation in the EC? I know when I went over for work trips most of the guys I was meeting with were all like 6' 6" 198cm ish). Just as well I only usually went for 2 days - my neck ached like anything even sat around a table (only because they were all GORGEOUS - couldn't take my eyes off the one I was working with most!
