#nationalnumeracyday It was amazing, he thought, how people would argue against figures on no better basis than 'they must be wrong'. 'I'm sure the Bursar would not agree with those figures,' said the Senior Wrangler sourly. 'That is so,' said Ponder, 'but I'm afraid that is because he regards the decimal point as a nuisance'.

#NationalLostSockMemorialDay, we remember the brave single socks claimed by the Eater of Socks, that small, elephant-like laundry monster from the Unseen University, born of belief in Hogfather. (And let’s not forget its pencil-munching cousin, the Stealer of Pencils.) May your drawers stay full and your pairs eternal. Perhaps some replacements? 🧦 tinyurl.com/discworld-socks “The Eater of Socks looked up at the wizards, cautiously. Then its jaws started to work again. …grnf, grnf… ‘Here, that’s one of mine!’ said the Chair of Indefinite Studies, making a grab. The Eater of Socks backed away hurriedly. … ‘Funny lookin’ little thing, ain’t it?’ said Ridcully…” — Terry Pratchett, Hogfather 📚 tinyurl.com/hogfather-disc… #Discworld #TerryPratchett #SirTerryPratchett #DiscworldOfficial

#happystgeorgesday🇬🇧 Fabled for having slain a dragon, St George's Day is celebrated with traditions and festivities that date back centuries. ~ "" ~ He turned. And there, on the roof, was the dragon. ‘There’s a dragon on the roof!’ he warbled. ‘Nobby, it’s a dragon on the roof! What shall I do, Nobby? There’s a dragon on the roof! It’s looking right at me, Nobby!’ ‘For a start, you could do your trousers up,’ said Nobby, from behind the nearest wall. — Guards!
