Terry Pratchett Talks Discworld-Inspired TV Show, New Book Dodger

NEW YORK — An upcoming television show based on Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels will focus on crime-fighting character Samuel Vimes, said the writer Friday at New York Comic Con.

Vimes is the no-nonsense commander of the City Watch, a burgeoning police force in the fantasy Discworld city of Ankh-Morpork. His exploits will form the basis of the show, to be called The Watch.

Committee on Science, Space, and Technology

The Republicans sure no how to pick them. Along with Todd Akin, Paul Broun also serves on the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

Broun, a Republican from Oconee County, is a medical doctor and running unopposed in District 10 on the November ballot. He serves on the Congressional science and technology, and homeland security committees.

“God’s word is true. I’ve come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, the big bang theory; all of that is lies straight from the pit of hell,” Broun told the crowd.

“And it’s lies to keep me and all the folks who are taught that from understanding that they need a savior. You see, there’s a lot of scientific data that I’ve found as a scientist that this really is a young earth. I don’t believe that the earth is but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was made in six days as we know them. That’s what the Bible tells us.”
