	So what is an Anorankh? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		All it takes is one chance remark and the inmates leap forward to produce a stream of facts and ideas that, in the cold light of morning, makes you wonder what they were on.
		For the stout-hearted, the full Anorankh thread can be found in the Terry Pratchett archives at ftp.lspace.org/pub/pratchett/words/misc/holy-anorankh but for the mildly curious, an Anorankh is an ankh, the Egyptian symbol for life, wearing an anorak, the Eskimo symbol for keeping out the cold and a popular UK term for train-spotters, computer enthusiasts, and their ilk.
		The idea of the Holy Anorankh finally became reality when Terry Pratchett persuaded the artisans behind the Discworld miniatures, Clarecraft, to produce pewter and silver Anorankhs in a wearable size, and lo, Anorankhs now populate the earth (and for the keen of eye, even make an appearance on the Discworld).

		One of alt.fan.pratchett's better moments arrived in May 1994 when the "Holy Anorankh" thread blossomed.
		In another attempt to save some of a.f.p.'s more worthwhile episodes from the gaping vacuum maws of Usenet history (god, I love that phrase) I've searched through my log files, rescued the relevant postings, and started pruning, slicing, dicing, leaving out, editing, rearranging and formatting.

		The short version of the story is as follows: Colette is Colette Reap, a long-time a.f.p.
		One particular item of jewellery they sell is the anorankh, a small model of an Egyptian cross wearing an anorak.
		Colette, our resident net.goddess and therefore one of the most 'visible' females on the group, was one of the most popular proposal targets.

	Minor Discworld concepts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One user mistakenly used the word "anorak" to refer to the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, the "ankh".
		Both designs are generally worn as necklaces or earrings, and they have since become an unofficial symbol of Pratchett-fandom.
		An image of the Holy Anorankh design is available here.

		In Maskerade, Granny Weatherwax remarks that a girl named Colette is wearing "interesting earrings".
		This is a reference to a fan that Terry met at a convention; being impressed with her Anorankh earrings, he offered her a cameo in his next novel.
		Images of both Holy Anorankh designs are available on the Clarecraft website [1]; if you're having a hard time finding it there, you can see one here

	Ministry of Information: Wear it with pride
		A few weak or outdated items have been replaced (some still need work), but unfortunately, that's meant the removal of a link I still want to offer.
		I don't like male jewellery, and only wear an anorankh pendant, only occasionally.
		I haven't worn it since, well, probably around the time I wrote that, nearly two years ago.

		Una joya de las que vendían era el Anorankh, la famosa cruz egipcia de la vida con un anorak puesto.
		(En caso de que a alguien le interese, todo el tema del anorankh salió a partir de un hilo particularmente desquiciado de alt.fan.pratchett, podéis echar un vistazo pinchando aquí.) Al mismo tiempo, en alt.fan.pratchett se puso de moda que los lectores varones propusieran matrimonio a las lectoras.
		Pero llevaba puestos mis pendientes de anorankh, en los que Terry se fijó de repente mientras yo estaba delante de él esperando a que firmara el libro.

	The AFP Timelines: The Holy Anorankh
		Rocky's article contains the first recorded mention of the word "anorankh", though several others independently re-invented the pun later on
		My silver Holy Anorankh arrived today, which means I will now be safe from vampires unless I want not to be.

		The first one of these is Colette in Maskerade, who is briefly commented on by Granny Weatherwax, referring to the interesting earrings she is wearing.
		This is a reference to a girl Pratchett met at a convention, who was wearing "Anorankh" earrings – small figurines of an Ankh wearing an anorak.
		The idea has resulted from a bit of confusion on the Pratchett newsgroup, and has become an unofficial symbol for the fanclub; they are made available as merchandise.
