Just a thought re: discworld reasons for naming Carrot - while rereading a section of Night watch (specifically to do with the use of the Lilac flower and the Glorious Revolution) It's mentioned that in history there was once a battle where there was a rag tag of different squads covered in mud who found themselves in a carrot field and adopted the carrot as a badge to identify one another (as well as being a nourishing snack). Perhaps the carrot took on special symbology/significance relating to uniting people under a common symbol, being nourishing/doing good in general and possibly linking into leadership. Just a thought. | |||
Also, might it be worth mentioning on the main page his link to being Prince of Llamedos? | |||
