#WorldAquaticAnimalDay🐟🐠🐡🦈🪼🦐
April 3rd is a day dedicated to showing appreciation for and highlighting the significance of aquatic animals.

A fitting remark by #SirTerryPratchett on the perceived difference between writing for children versus writing for adults.

“One group is concerned with the major problems facing mankind. Questions of loyalty and belief and heroism and the really serious things that involve us as a species.
And the others we call Adults.”

#NationalTaterDay

“If you were shipwrecked on a desert island, what would you prefer, a bag of potatoes or a bag of gold?”
“Yes, but a desert island isn’t Ankh-Morpork!”
“And that proves gold is only valuable because we agree it is, right? It’s just a dream. But a potato is always worth a potato, anywhere. A knob of butter and a pinch of salt and you’ve got a meal, anywhere. Bury gold in the ground and you’ll be worrying about thieves for ever.”
Making Money, Terry Pratchett

Ankh-Morpork did not have many hospitals. All the Guilds maintained their own sanitariums, and there were a few public ones run by the odder religious organizations, like the Balancing Monks, but by and large medical assistance was nonexistent and people had to die inefficiently, without the aid of doctors. It was generally thought that the existence of cures encouraged slackness and was in any case probably against Nature’s way - GUARDS! GUARDS!

"Why does ketchup cost almost as much the rat?" said Angua.
"Have you tried rat without ketchup?" said Carrot.

#WearAHatDay 🎩

"It wasn’t the wearing of the hats that counted so much as having one to wear. Every trade, every craft had its hat. That’s why kings had hats. Take the crown off a king and all you had was someone good at having a weak chin and waving to people. Hats had power. Hats were important.” — Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

"He found that he had this sudden desperate longing for the fuming, smoky streets of Ankh-Morpork, which was always at its best in the spring."
