As in Faust? I haven't read it in, like, forever. Is now a good time to point out that, with 80 pages to go, Steelheart is proving to be A Bit Shit?

What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of Doog. Or, if you prefer, a winner.

1837 The Milwaukee Sentinel, the oldest newspaper in Wisconsin, was founded by Solomon Juneau, who also was Milwaukee's first mayor.

Pratchett.

You really think Steelheart is a bit shit? It's a touch predictable I grant you, but that's a bit harsh?

1966 On a FTJFFLCIT,T(S)BAFTMAUSIA,A,B of a TWIJ.

Damn. Missed this one:
It was on this day in 1899 that James Collins’ record-obliterating innings at Clifton College came to an end, with the opener marooned on 628 as his house – Clarke’s – lost their final wicket, for a total of 835.

(It is surely the most famous achievement in the history of English schools cricket, and deservedly so. In all he hit one six, three fives, 30 fours, 36 threes, 146 twos and 177 singles. Collins died, aged 29, during the first battle of Ypres in 1914)

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

Rincewind is summoned by Eric, who was trying to summon a demon.

Eric owns a parrot. The parrot has a bad whass-name. Thingy. You know. Words list.

Eric makes three wishes, which Ricewind grants (much to his surprise) but as with all wishes granted by demons, they are exactly what Eric asked for but not what he wants.
