Do you think Vetinari's ever read the Evil Overlord List? Sure, he's not evil, but I'm sure any advice would help to run a city like Ankh-Morpork. I can totally see him doing something like: I will hire an entire squad of blind guards. Not only is this in keeping with my status as an equal opportunity employer, but it will come in handy when the ( Read more... )

Hey, miraclaire, have you read Wintersmith? This quote made me think of you:
