Did you know that monarchy is the fastest travelling thing in the universe? It jumps to the next of kin instantly at death.

INTERREGNUM. My word of the month.

That's one of my favourite words. I feel all warm and fuzzy any time I find an appropriate time to use it in conversation.

Yes, thankyou Sir Terry.

ah, yes. Terry Wogan, the man with a sack of potatoes for testes bulging out his trousers.

seriously why was nothing said about the way he sat on Points Of View? fucking repressed memories right there.

Yes, thankyou Sir Terry.

I thought it was Douglas Adams. He said they'd attempted to fuel spaceships with monarchy but they weren't very popular with noble families.

For groophar's sake, guys.

I thought it was in Mort.

EDIT: Yup, I was right:

The only things known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

-- (Terry Pratchett, Mort)

EDIT AGAIN: I think you're getting confused with the Douglas Adams quote about the spaceship powered by bad news.

Ah yes, you're right.

"Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. There had been experimental spacecraft powered by bad news, but they tended to be rather unpopular wherever they arrived."

the sentence it was in said "self-intimation", which confuses me more.
