Only Rincewind, because he was the assistant librarian for years. Note the Librarian's troubles with Lance-constable Carrot in _Guards! Guards!_. Also, the Librarian has an extra phoneme (ee /i/ or eek /ik/, whichever you think is more appropriate). He mainly uses it when someone's about to use the M word. Christopher Wright "Don't say it! It makes him angry, it does. He turns you upside down and bashes your head into the floor. But it's all right, as long as you don't say monkey. Oh crap." --St. Nobby C. W. St. James Nobbs
