Ankh-Morpork Times front page, "Going Aloft—Without Falling Down!" By William de Worde Ankh-Morpork has always been a city that looks upwards—or at least it tries, before tripping over something inconveniently placed at ground level. But yesterday, for the first time, it had a reason to truly gape at the skies, as a marvel of technological and magical engineering—currently referred to by its creator as the Going-Aloft-Without-Falling-Down Machine—graced the heavens above Sator Square. The machine, which some citizens have already taken to calling simply "The Airship" (on the sensible grounds that it is airborne and a ship), is the brainchild of the famously brilliant and blissfully oblivious Leonard of Qurim, a man whose inventions are renowned for their groundbreaking ingenuity and equally groundbreaking capacity to explode without prior warning. The Airship is a marvel to behold, a great oblong vessel suspended by what Leonard has termed "liftitude bags," which allow the entire contraption to hover above the city in a manner both baffling and vaguely threatening. It is propelled by whirring propellers that appear to be powered by both unseen mechanical forces and the sheer disbelief of those watching below. Crowds gathered in their thousands to witness this historic event, despite the assurances of many bystanders that "it’s bound to come down eventually, and you’ll wish you weren’t standing there when it does." Indeed, the city was abuzz with speculation, ranging from “How does it stay up?” to “Why does it stay up?” and, of course, the perennial Ankh-Morpork question: “What’s in it for me?” This correspondent can report that the Airship ascended into the skies without falling down (a critical feature), remaining aloft long enough to silence most sceptics and prompt a brisk trade in Airship-themed pies from enterprising vendors on the ground. The City Watch stood by to ensure order, though Commander Vimes was reportedly heard muttering something about "bloody flyi…
