Something about this most recent sequence of chapters has fed
a growing suspicion in my mind that the reason we have so little
actual output (quantity rather than quality, of course) from Mr. P.
is that he's spending all his time writing the Discworld novels
of Terry Pratchett. It's been in the back of my mind before, but 
some of the slapstick comedy in these chapters increases the
suspicion.

Now I come to think of it, M&D sound like some kind of conjoined
Rincewind. Emerson is definitely "Bloody Stupid Johnson" (the coat)
and The Royal Society can be nothing other than Unseen University.

Couple this with the initials and I sure I'm on to a winner here.
