Are earthworms theologically neutral?
How much wine does it take to splode an earthworm? ☺
Still struggling to get Short but Concentrated #2 to work, but I did read and enjoy the blast from the past interview from the other link.

I suppose if you dropped an earthworm in a glass of wine, it wouldn't last long, but the upper limit of how many earthworm spirits can be dumped into one earthworm body would appear to be 6. Confirmed by actual experiment...

According to Penric. They wouldn't be creatures of the Bastard, as they are not vermin, I rather imagine the Son would sniff in disdain, and the Father does not much concern Himself with gardening. The Daughter and the Mother might take an interest, though.

Hoo boy, these academic folks can really find hairs to split. The first one I had to keep from laughing at - one can find points of similarity to the Greek and Roman classics in any collection of successful stories. (Granted, sometimes the allusions are consciously planted.)
I had problems with the theology of Five Gods one. I'm not sure the writer got the real message. I like "no hands but ours", and it should become a modern aphorism; I don't think he got that.
Your Penric quote is quite apt.
