** The relationship comes off as scathing point-by-point parody of the one in ''Twilight'', despite predating it by about a decade.
*** Well, Pratchett did once sarcastically reply to a complaint that yes, [[OlderThanTheyThink he happened to own a time machine and had used it to steal the Unseen University concept from J.K. Rowling]]...
*** A SarcasticConfession, perhaps?

** The Omnians have several anti-witch books, the first of which mentioned is the ''Malleus Maleficarum'', a reference to the Roundworld witchfinder tome of the same name, which translates as ''The Hammer of Witches''. Other such texts are ''Auriga Clavorum Maleficarum'' and ''Torquus Simiae Maleficarum'', with the set collectively known as the ''Arca Instrumentorum''. These [[CanisLatinicus more or less]] translate as ''The Screwdriver of Witches'', ''The Monkey Wrench of Witches'', and ''The Box of Tools''.
