Topic: Quirm


  
 Moot96 Moot '96 Background
Quirm has been implicated in the disasterous spill of boretic acid that had been improperly stored at the ITB's offices in the Livporian capital.
Normally, Quirm's international status would have afforded him immunity in Livporia, but the ITB has waived his immunity in this case.
Turichian legal experts have suggested that there is some possibility of prosecuting Quirm in Turichia, as the boretic acid was shipped from Turichia in containers that do not meet Turichia's strict environmental standards.

Leonard of Quirm is a fictional character in the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett.
Originally from Quirm, he moved to Ankh-Morpork some time ago and is currently a permanent "guest" of the Patrician.
It is worth noting that, although his name is Leonard "of Quirm", he is referred to as 'da Quirm' when his first name is unstated.

At 18, in the army he was sent off to a unknown part of the disc, fighting strange men who tried to attack the researchers there.
Staying in Quirm, he studied further and ended up staying there until he was 21.
The teachers refused to teach him due to their suspicion of his over keenness, which was thought of at that time to be not a good thing in a area filled with young trainee's.

The extent of the danger posed by Leonard De Quirm is best illustrated by considering the occasion when the very nature of space and time occurred to him.
Leonard De Quirm strode confidently across the garden; his path pointed more or less straight toward the place where Haverlock Vetinari was playing with his scruffy old dog.
Every one of the members of the City Watch dived behind something that was designed by Leonard De Quirm to make life easier for everyday man. They all knew from experience what a gonne was capable of and this one was an order of magnitude worse than even their vivid imaginings.

One evening while I was hard at work in my apartment making more political advertising stickers to send back home, a knock came at my door and a letter was hastily shoved underneath.
Upon examining it I found a request for my services in nearby Quirm, for a fee of roughly $300 AM, C.O.D. Seeing as how this is, technically, my job, I decided I had better do it.
Further investigation showed that the "Litmag" was short for "Literary Magazine," a minor student-run publication at the Quirm School and apparently the only haven for free liberal art, poetry, and prose.

We also have the familiar faces of Captain Carrot, Leonard of Quirm, Rincewind, and the Librarian rocketing to space, landing on the moon, and crashing through the gates of the city of the gods.
He gets eccentric inventor Leonardo of Quirm to make a flying machine, powered by dragons, and sends an expedition consisting of Leonardo, Carrot, and a reluctant Rincewind, to try and stop Cohen and Co. (the Librarian goes along as a stowaway).Vetinari instructs Carrot to stop Cohen by any means possible.
Hilarity ensues, of course.

The text is much briefer than usual, but moments remain, particularly around Leonard of Quirm, the brilliant but eccentric inventor who doesn't see the world quite the way anyone else does, and the much put-upon Rincewind, who is among the crew of the bizarre ship sent after the barbarians.

 The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett - an infinity plus review
Unfortunately, this would mean the destruction of the Discworld, so the wizards of the Unseen University and Leonardo da Quirm join forces to fly a team to Dunmanifestin to save the world...
Leonardo da Quirm is a super-duper Leonardo da Vinci, having not only da Vinci's incredible inventiveness, but the ability to sit down long enough to actually build his ideas.
Da Quirm is at the same time rather sanitised compared to Leonardo of our world.

 HM Record -- September 13 2002
In addition to the USA PATRIOT Act, the administration, led by Ashcroft, has set the unquestionably dangerous precedent of incarcerating two US citizens indefinitely, without access to council, and without having been charged, in violation of both the Fifth and Sixth Amendments.
  Even though many legal scholars disagree on whether Quirm is pertinent to this situation – Quirm occurred during a time of officially declared war, and the Nazis in question were quickly charged and tried by a military tribunal – Ashcroft has declared his actions constitutional.
Shortly after signing into law the USA PATRIOT ACT, President Bush said “…one thing is for certain: These terrorists must be pursued; they must be defeated; and they must be brought to justice.

This team consists of Captain Carrot of the City Watch, Leonardo of Quirm, and Rincewind, the Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography.
Much of the story focuses on the trio sent by Lord Vetinari and serves to mimic the Apollo missions of NASA as Leonardo of Quirm creates a ship to journey over the edge of the Disc in order to gain the trajectory which will allow them to arrive at Cori Celeste in time.
