Fridge Brilliance
- Moist asks goddess Anoia for a favor, since it was him that caused her to become a famous goddess with her own temple (instead of one of the small gods that shared a single altar and priestess). She is goddess of, among other things, things stuck in drawers. At the climax of the book, Moist's former partner gets bitten by the false teeth that he had stolen from a dead man, that were stuck in his "drawers" for years...
- Another possibility is that the fight was considered "a lost cause". It's mentioned that Anoia was considering expanding her domain to be the goddess of lost causes.
- Mr. Bent's total absence of a sense of humor has been proven by phrenology. Phrenology being a quack science, presumably even on Discworld, it "proving" something has no bearing on anything at all... but if you don't know this, it sounds like some vague medical term that you'd accept in a conversation, leading into the reveal that he's a very repressed clown.
- Aimsbury, the chef in charge of feeding the dog named Mr. Fusspot, has a severe reaction to the word "garlic". Allium sativum, the actual plant described by the word, is highly toxic to dogs.
