Discworld/Pyramids/YMMV

• Fridge Brilliance: Stephen Hawking recently mentioned that space affects time, and high-gravity areas slow time. He mentioned pyramids create gravity wells that slow time around them minutely (due to their density in location and build).
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Teppic recalls that Ephebian gods sometimes turn into animals to win the favors of women, then finds Ptraci feeding a tortoise. Teppic "gave it a suspicious look, in case it was a god trying it on. It did not look like a god. If it was a god, it was putting on an incredibly good act." In a later Discworld novel, Small Gods, a god gets stuck in the form of a tortoise.
  • The whole "having to spend billions on making the pyramids" is suddenly much more funny, now that research has revealed that much of the labour done in Ancient Egypt wasn't actually done by slaves, but by actual workers.
• Tear Jerker: The fact that is in a Stable Time Loop.He's doomed to forever experience the same sequence of events over and over again, remembering and forgetting, only to relise at the last moment what has happened, and not be able to stop it...
