Thud! Symbols

[Dotsie]

Bit of a coincidence that I want to ask a question about Thud! Just a few days before discussion starts, so I know I'm risking the wrath of Tony here But yesterday in the lift at work, a woman got in wearing earrings that had a eyeball on with a tail coming out of the bottom. So does this symbol actually exist? Obviously without discussing the book in any way although Tony might forbid this anyway

Of course, I could have just asked her. But I'm British

I´ve never seen it in RL

Maybe she's a Pratchett fan.

The one sign, The Long Dark looks somewhat like this:

There has been a deal of speculation that the dwarf tunnels along with the Devices might be used as an underground railways system. There have even been maps made of possible routes.

Here's an LSpace article on mine signs.

I saw the article, but maybe only Terry can say what the Summoning Dark actually is. I also found an image of a tattoo, but the eyeball had wings as well. And once again, the owner didn't elaborate. Ah well! A minor mystery.

BTW Tony, what's the "33"?
