I don't understand the joke (really) well, but I love the image. Surely that must count for something!

Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' is a sci-fi fantasy series, building on the 'flat earth' theory: namely a disc, held up by four elephants, which stand on a giant turtle (The Great A'Tuin).

Sort of gathering that from the painting. I still think it rocks as a stand alone.

And at the end of the day - that's what counts! :D

Celestial superglue at the very least - I am a big Terry Pratchett fan :-)

I have heard that Pratchett did use one of the popular myths to recreate Discworld, so it is quite possible that he pinch that one.
