Talk:Jerry Was a Man

"Allusions" section
"When swearing oaths, a mentioned deity is the 'turtle that supports the universe,' alluding to the terry pratchett Discworld universe." Considering that this story was written 36 years before the first Discworld novel, I don't think this can be accurate. I'm removing it. Lasserine (talk) 03:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure it was Pratchett's creation? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down 213.120.214.91 (talk) 15:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I was pretty sure it was not Pratchett's creation, but previous versions of the article referred to it as such. Lasserine (talk) 20:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Pratchett borrowed it from Native American and Hindu mythology. See World Turtle for more information. Heinlein probably did, too. Stonemason89 (talk) 20:50, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * quite likely. RAH's letters make it clear that he liked to research such stuff 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:3167:66A1:1588:91FA (talk) 12:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
