Vår mann

Selv i en Terry Pratchett-bok man ikke liker så veldig godt, som The Last Continent, er det ikke til å unngå at man bryter ut i gapskratt når man kommer til passasjer (og fotnoter, fotnoter!) som denne:

The ability to ask questions like “Where am I and who is the ‘I’ that is asking?” is one of the things that distinguishes mankind from, say, cuttlefish.*
* Although of course it’s not the most obvious thing and there are, in fact, some beguiling similarities, particularly the tendency to try to hide behind a big cloud of ink in difficult situations.
