Archived from groups: alt>fan>pratchett, others (more info?)

Man where do the years go... but to be fair *this* particular list is
current for the year 2007.

Others... well lets not ruin such a solemn occasion such as this with
talk of others. It's all rather unseemly really. After all we've
gathered here, as is the end of year tradition, to note those who have
met their demise. Both timely and not so much with the timely.

And on with the show. This is the time on death list where we spoiler
space:






























Enough already! Well it certainly *used* to be. Though in this day and
age of 20 inch monitors maybe not so much. But it's the risk you take
for flaunting your wealth like that. Have you *no* shame people? There
are squinting people trying to read usenet in Africa!

large meal of devilled oysters. (pg 31)

Man who made the eyebrow training machine - poisoned by Cosmo Lavish.

Death toll?

The Tanty Bugle was noted for its coverage of murders (preferably
'orrible), trials, prison escapes, and the world that in general is
surrounded by a chalk outline. (pg 27)
To get a job at the Mint you had to wait until someone died. (pg 40)
Things with the names of dead men on them. (pg 86)
Cosmo Lavish - Probably bought death when he needed it. (pg 89)
City of Um was in first war with the Ice giants. People most likely
died. Sebsequent wars too. (pg 198)
In Professor Flead's day you had to find your own corpse or make one.
(pg 218)
The Umnians were quite creative in human sacrifice. (pg 221)
Dr Hans Forvold created a revolutionary living-brain extractor. (pg
246)
Assassins' School Scholarship boys got bullied. Some of them survived.
(pg 303)
One of Vetinari's predecessors had people torn apart by wild
tortoises. (pg 334)


The Undead


Mr Slant - zombie
Otto Chriek - vampire


There you go anonymouse usenet. Prime A quality death list. For
conversion purposes, since some of you insist on reading other
versions, that's right from the Doubleday Hardcover (UK) edition,
with its 349 pages of numbering. No good can come of that.

Good day sir. I said good day!

close to 38, perhaps one or two more
(though should we really count O*lsw*ck?)

<snip the nonspecific masses, the speculative, and the undead>

So the on-page toll is roughly 40. How remarkably peaceful
for a Discworld novel.

Congratulations for a job well done.

Good gods! That has to be one of the most timely Death Lists in years!
Mind you, L-Space Web seems to be missing a few lists - which means I
must have missed a few. All copies gratefully received.

Unless there are any significant changes, this one should be on L-Space
within a week or so.

I do believe you might not be totally incorrect. Amendment shall be
made.
