Geocache Description:

Things are different on a globe, sir. There are no broomsticks, no magic carpets, and going to the Moon is not just a case of pushing off over the edge and trying to avoid the Turtle on the way down.

[EN]
This special box is lost in space (and time) so there's no need for you to climb up... forget l'Arc de Triomphe, let's say... the Chinese Embassy to get it. Nevertheless, admit it, it would have been so much funnier!

Discworld is flat and rides on the back of four giant elephants who stand on the shell of the enormous star turtle Great A'Tuin, and is bounded by a waterfall that cascades endlessly into space. Scientists have calculated that the chance of anything so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.

Since Great A'Tuin is omnipresent in almost every single one of the Discworld novels take a look at these pictures instead... they will turtle you! [You need to scroll down past the romanian paragraphs to actually see them.]

Aceasta cutie speciala este pierduta in spatiu (si timp) asa ca nu este nevoie sa escaladezi... sa lasam deoparte Arcul de Triumf, sa spunem... Ambasada Chinei pentru a o gasi. Cu toate acestea, trebuie sa recunoastem, ar fi fost mult mai misto!

Lumea Disc, care e plata si se sprijina pe spinarile a patru elefanti gigantici, la randul lor proptiti de carapacea enormei testoase stelare zise Marele A'Tuin, e inconjurata de o cascada ce se pravaleste necontenit in spatiu. Cercetatorii au calculat ca sansele ca ceva atat de absurd sa existe in realitate sunt de unu la un milion. Dar vrajitorii au calculat si ei ca sansele de unu la un milion se cam implinesc in noua cazuri din zece.

Intrucat Marele A'Tuin este omniprezent in mai toate romanele Discworld incearca mai degraba sa privesti la pozele de mai jos... iti vor testosi mintea! [Nu e nevoie de scroll, pozele sunt imediat mai jos.]


Time is like a drug. Too much of it kills you.


Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels it finds
the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.


It was eight in the morning, a time when drinkers are trying either to forget who they are
or to remember where they live.


What heroes like best is themselves.


Questions don't have to make sense, but answers do!
