	Detritus (Discworld) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When Corporal Carrot formed the Ankh-Morpork City Militia, Detritus was promoted to Acting-Constable and it was during this time that he discovered his natural leadership abilities, as he was able to 'recruit' a large number of able bodied men and trolls into the Militia and eventually into the reformed City Watch.
		While Detritus does not have much imagination, he is fairly intelligent, by troll standards, especially since the end of Men At Arms, when he acquired a clockwork cooling helmet which reduces the effect heat has on the conductivity of his silicon brain.
		Detritus is very attached to the Piecemaker, so much so that he tried to take it as part of his uniform to a major social occasion.

	detritus - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about detritus
		In biology, the organic debris produced during the decomposition of animals and plants.
		These plains are often of a desolate sterility; mere sandy wastes, formed of the detritus of the granite heights, destitute of trees and herbage, scorched by the ardent and reflected rays of the summer's sun, and in winter swept by chilling blasts from the snow-clad mountains.
		In central Chile I was astonished at the structure of a vast mound of detritus, about 800 feet in height, crossing a valley of the Andes; and this I now feel convinced was a gigantic moraine, left far below any existing glacier.

		Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series is set on a vast disc-shaped world, resting upon the back of four giant elephants, which in turn stand upon the shell of the giant turtle Great A’Tuin, forever sailing towards a distant point of light far across the universe.
		The Discworld’s moon is the same distance from the Discworld and has the same diameter as the Discworld’s sun; they are both flat discs that continually point towards the Discworld’s centre, giving some people the impression that they are spheres, which is, of course, wrong.
		The Discworld answer is to introduce a Guild of Thieves, which suppresses unlawful gangs due to their habit of cutting down on the guild’s profits, and stopping crime waves by keeping a steady crime quota.
