Who out of the computer buissiness doesn’t really know this Trillogie in five books, where everything deals with the number 42, and where you always have to carry a blanket and an electronic device with an included electronik Hitchhiker’s thumb, with a bright friendly red display with the words “DON’T PANIK” written onto?

When the earth were a disc, which is carried by four (better five) giant elefants, which are carried by a giant turtle through the universe, where there are the charakters like the “Endless Traveler “ Rincewind*1 with his trolley (“The Luggage”, which is following his master on thausands of tiny feet, breaking it’s way everywhere), Death, who only speaks in capital letters, and his Granddaughter, Wizzards of the Unseen University and their Libarian*2, Witches like Granny Wetherwax, or Watchmen of the city watch like Corporal Nobbs and besides of the classic Guilds the Guild of Assisians*3 and the Guild of Thieves*3 excist, you are at the Disc World.
but you can find numberous footnotes in the books like this:
*1 Rincewind says:"You should start to run when you hear the ’e’ in: ‘He you..’"
*2 "Ugh" says the Libarian. This is the only thing an Orang Uthan is able to say. But with so many different meanings...
*3 At both Guilds you can buy an
insurance on a years basis to be
prevented from their normal
operations.
