Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

Date: 2008-02-24 05:17 pm (UTC)Back in the'90s, as a commemoration of the 900th anniversary of the Doomsday Book, the government had a bright idea. They would get schools to contribute to a modern doomsday book which would be sent out to every school. And so it was done.
Every school in the UK received a copy of the modern doomsday book on laserdisc, whether they had a laserdisc player or not. Our school has no idea what they did with their copy.
At least for the millennium they issued real books on paper.
