In Colour of Magic we learn that it is a terrible thing to say the number that comes between 7 and 9 - especially if you are a wizard. It's an idea that Terry kicked around for a while but doesn't seem to apply now.

Rincewind, for example, ended up in room 7a at the University. ;)

Is that supposed to be a number? 'cause I might not be the best in maths, but I got 27 for that... :?

We'd better be careful this thread is getting very close to the number of pages between seven pages and nine pages
Proof that L-Space exists in this universe

Fact 1:Heavier things distort time and space more
Fact 2:A page with ink on it is heavier than an unprinted page
Conclusion:A book distorts time and space more than blank papers
