Line 146:
* This WMG would explain the theories that 'Vetinari is grooming X as a next Patrician'. He actually doesn't intend any specific person to rule, he is creating a network of services run by people with unusual talents that keep the city in check.
=== Vetinari didn't quite deserve his reputation until after the events of ''[[Men at Arms]]''. ===
See [[Discworld/Men Atat Arms/WMG|its WMG page]] for the hypothesis.
 
=== Vetinari is going to be Death's new bookkeeper/assistant. ===
Line 259:
* I always thought that '=' just ''was'' the answer. When you solve an equation, as Detritus was doing, you basically simplify it by getting less and less numbers, in order to solve it. So if you got rid of ''all'' the numbers, you'd end up with a perfect equation, and that would be a good candidate for a Theory of Everything...if that makes sense. I think it does on the Discworld, anyway.
 
=== Captain Carrot is an incarnation of ''[[Stranger in Aa Strange Land]]''{{'}}s Valentine Michael Smith. ===
Both are amazingly kind, competent, ''simple'' humans who were raised by non-humans. Both teach their older, culturally-human mentors about humanity. And it's implied in ''Stranger'' that Mike's bodily form is just one of the incarnations of the Archangel Michael, who goes on "assignment" from time to time.
