#nationalnumeracyday It was amazing, he thought, how people would argue against figures on no better basis than 'they must be wrong'.

Perhaps some replacements? 🧦 tinyurl.com/discworld-socks “The Eater of Socks looked up at the wizards, cautiously. Then its jaws started to work again. …grnf, grnf… ‘Here, that’s one of mine!’ said the Chair of Indefinite Studies, making a grab. The Eater of Socks backed away hurriedly. … ‘Funny lookin’ little thing, ain’t it?’ said Ridcully…” — Terry Pratchett, Hogfather 📚 tinyurl.com/hogfather-discwo… #Discworld #TerryPratchett #SirTerryPratchett #DiscworldOfficial
