About this deal

According to my source, Cooper's explanation in the movie was "It cuts down the haze a mite" -- or something along those lines. From the phrase noblesse oblige, meaning "rank imposes certain obligations" - not something one would normally associate with Nobby Nobbs. He chooses to arrive exactly at midnight and appears in a flash of lightning purely for the dramatic effect, something the old Death finds degrading and rather excessive. This and a number of other lines in this sections are references to the movies Alien/Aliens: "Remember -- short, controlled bursts.

They clearly must be created by their own believers, because a brief resume of the lives of most gods suggests that their origins certainly couldn't be divine.He also gets angry upon hearing of Rincewind: In Eric, for example, his eyes turn red at the mention of Rincewind. The New Death is the old Death's replacement as a result of the plot by the Auditors to rid the world of sloppy thinking.

But Pratchett is likely referring to term 'Senior Wrangler' as the title given to the top 12 Mathematics graduates at Cambridge University. The Senior Wrangler could do to a conversation what it takes quite thick treacle to do to the pedals of a precision watch.The joke here is that Ned Simnel is trying to think of a new, better way to power his Combination Harvester, when he is interrupted by the "pointless distraction" of his kettle boiling over. This is a reference to the Benjamin Franklin line: In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
