I some how remember looking trough the main spelljammer book a long time ago. SOme where in there I could swear I saw a disc shaped world, on the backs of four elephants, who inturn were on the back of a giant turtle.

For a long time it only stayed in my hean because it was such a strange picture. When I started to read the discworld series, I realized that the picture must have been paying homage to discworld. However, I can not for the life of me be sure I acctuly saw it. When I have poked around the inter net looking for the referance, I couldn't find it. So, since everyone on this board probly owns the books, I was wondering. Was it in there, or was it another one of my delusions?

I wouldn't take my word as proof of your sanity, as I have none myself...

Perhaps, but Terry Pratchett didn't invent the idea; it originally comes from Hindu mythology.

The elephants are Indian, the turtle was from many different places. In his own words "All I had to do was grab it and run away before the alarms when off."
