Discworld character

[altariel]

You scored as Esmerelda (Granny) Weatherwax. You are Granny Weatherwax! The most powerful witch on the Disc! You often use headology rather than actual spells, and are a very good witch, despite the fact that you sometimes wish you were a bad one. You play a mean game of Cripple Mr. Onion, and have a very powerful stare. By the way, you should really get that broom fixedâ?¦ </td> Esmerelda (Granny) Weatherwax 94% The Librarian 88% Lord Havelock Vetinari 75% Carrot Ironfounderson 75% Commander Samuel Vimes 50% Death 50% Rincewind 50% Cohen The Barbarian 50% Gytha (Nanny) Ogg 44% Greebo 25% Which Discworld Character are you like (with pics) created with QuizFarm.com

I'm a bit disappointed, because I wanted to be the Librarian. Perhaps the finest literary orang-utan. (There are also orang-utans in Life of Pi and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. More sources of fictional orang-utans are welcomed.)

I got the same thing:o I'd rather be Binky... he's so cool!

Umm... Edgar Allan Poe? The Murders in the Rue Morgue :o

I read it when I was kid and it was the first time I'd ever heard of an orang-utan. Fascinating introduction that:)

Poe may have had a thing about orang-utans. In his Hopfrog a king and his courtiers dress up in orang-utan suits.

I'll have to track that one down...

I think it's a short story rather than a novel. I came across it some 45 years ago in an anthology called something like "50 Great Stories for Boys" (which included some rather surprising stuff).

Oh yes, good one!

I'm surprised Enid Blyton didn't have any.
