Hi people - brand new to the forum.
I have just read my first of the discworld novels and decided to start at the beginning with the colour of magic.
I thoroughly enjoyed it - but two really buggy questions have been left in my mind....
1) Why is Twoflower referred to as the FIRST tourist on the discworld? Does this mean that before twoflower no-one had ever travelled around whatsoever?
2) As Rincewind and Twoflower are falling through the air, they have the weird parallel universe experience in the aeroplane. Rincewind says during this phase that 'it would have been a different situation has Twoflower been a Magnox Reactor'... what on earth does that mean?!
I know these are really specific questions but they'll play on my mind if I don't get answers!
Many thanks!
