* Main/HilariousInHindsight: In the first chapter, Syme and Gregory are discussing Anarchy when Gregory compares society to a lamp-post and anarchy to a tree, to which Syme asks if Gregory has ever seen a lamp-post illuminated by the light of a tree. [[Creator/JRRTolkien Chesterton's protege]] [[Literature/TheSilmarillion would write of an entire world illuminated by the light of trees]].

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley:
** Sunday gives this vibe even to his admirers -- mostly because the man is so damned '''''BIG'''''. Chesterton's narration describes him as being out of scale with his surroundings, like a statue carved slightly larger than life-size.
** Syme finds the whole Council to have this effect, but more so in the case of Sunday.
** Most of the Council of Days has something about them that is slightly off. Combined with Syme's [[CloudCuckoolander general overimaginativeness]], this makes them seem almost inhuman. [[spoiler: This is, of course, more or less intentional in order to keep their disguises.]]
