The only place in the
multiverse where an
elephant has to cock a leg to let the
sun go by.
The Discworld is the
fictional creation of
Terry Pratchett (who lives in
Wiltshire in the
UK). It is a
planet (well, the
creator was just making a
pizza but carried away as you do) which is flat and revolves on the backs of four
giant elephants who in turn stand of the back of the Star Turtle.
It is also the title of a hugely popular series of
books (the 25th in the series is due out near the end of
2000AD) including
the Colour of Magic and
Mort (which is reputed to be better in the
German translation).
A new book in the series is almost guaranteed to
rocket straight to
number one in the
book charts.
