	So I guess it's time to go back to the book and double check, if only to perform any necessary correction...

			:I don't think the book mentions the century but it does cover a whole century internally. You might argue that Brutha ''died'' in the C. of the Fruitbat, but he's always referred to as a historical figure. No one seems to remember him personally. --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens\|talk]]) 16:04, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

	Hmm. the One That Follows Grune is in fact August, as in our calendar. So assuming a twelve month "common year" (or half-year in the 800 day cycle?) Brutha's birthday is in the first half of August. This follows on from his own statement that when he saw the Ephebian coin, he was one month shy of three years old - which looks like two years and eleven months old. Even if the thirteen-month year applies as stated here ([[Discworld calendar]]) then he is, in the year of The Astounded Beetle, two years and twelve months old - still one month shy of his third birthday. (On Earth he'd be a Leo or just conceivably a Virgo. But on the Disc? different issue...)[[User:AgProv\|AgProv]] ([[User talk:AgProv\|talk]]) 15:25, 7 September 2014 (UTC)		Hmm. the One That Follows Grune is in fact August, as in our calendar.

			That's interesting, as we may have a contradiction within the Wiki and will need to go back to source ({{SG}}) and resolve an editing error... the book page for {{SG}} lists this under ''Miscellaneous'', and this was my starting point:

			* [[Year of the Notional Serpent]] in the [[Century of the Fruitbat]], time frame for this book
			* [[Year of the Astounded Beetle]], Brutha was 2 years old then (almost 3) when he saw [[derechmi]], an Ephebian coin

			But as you say, the Discworld Timeline article has the evens of {{SG}} happening ''before'' the Century of the Fruitbat begins!

			So I guess it's time to go back to the book and double check, if only to perform any necessary correction... [[User:AgProv\|AgProv]] ([[User talk:AgProv\|talk]]) 09:20, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
