	To commit suicide by hanging, one would need to create a noose and suspend it from a sturdy anchor point. The noose should be made of a material that can withstand the weight of the person, such as a strong rope or cord. The anchor point should be high enough to allow the person to hang freely without touching the ground.

	~~Here's~~ a ~~step~~-by~~-step guide on how to do it~~:		[[Image:Disorganiser.jpg\|240px\|right\|thumb\|Imp from a Dis-organiser, by [[User:Knmatt\|Matt Smith]]]]

	~~1. Find a suitable location with a sturdy anchor point. This could be a tree branch~~, a ~~ceiling beam~~, ~~or a door frame~~. ~~Make sure~~ the ~~anchor point can hold your weight~~ and ~~is high enough to allow you to hang freely~~.		'''An extremely''' annoying personal organiser, it is powered by a (usually incompetent) [[Imps\|imp]], which can perform various tasks. There have been 3 models encountered so far: the Mark 1, mark 2 and Mark 5. All of these start up with an unusually happy tune such as "bingly-bingly beep!", "bingle bingle bingle" or (when wet) "ob oggle sobble obble".

	2. ~~Obtain a suitable rope or cord~~ to ~~create~~ the ~~noose~~. ~~A length of about 5-6 feet~~ is ~~recommended. The material should be strong enough~~ to ~~withstand your weight and~~ not ~~too elastic~~, ~~as this could cause the noose~~ to ~~loosen during~~ the ~~process~~.		The only known dis-organiser Mark 1 was owned by [[Commander Vimes\|Samuel Vimes]], and was completely incompetent. It claimed to have 15 functions, although it appeared that at least ten were apologizing for the useless manner in which it performed the others. One is the ability to recognize handwriting - "I'd recognize it anywhere" - but not to ''read'' handwriting. It is also hinted that one was owned by [[William de Worde]], but it was thrown out of a window for being unhelpful, and was subsequently taken back to the store.

	3. ~~Tie a loop at one end~~ of ~~the rope~~ to ~~create~~ the ~~noose~~. ~~The loop should be large enough to fit around your neck comfortably~~, but ~~not so large that it could slip off. You can use a simple knot, such as an overhand knot or a bowline knot, to create the loop~~.		The second version - retail price AM$300 - was also owned by Vimes, and it was also useless despite its ability to inform the user of theoretical future appointments. It was lost in the sands of Klatch, and subsequently started to organise a shark's schedule after being thrown into the sea by [[Death]]. Another Mark 2 was also owned by [[Mr. Pin]] and [[Mr. Tulip]], but after their death was inherited by de Worde.

	~~4. Attach~~ the ~~other end~~ of the ~~rope to~~ the ~~anchor point. Make sure~~ the ~~knot is secure~~ and ~~won't come undone under stress. A good knot for this purpose is a bowline knot or a clove hitch.~~		An extremely compact model (a "nano imp") was discovered in the Ankhian Embassy in [[Bonk]], where it had clearly been used in the covert assembly of intelligence and useful information about the host nation. While its owner had come a terminal second in the Great Game, the disorganiser had not been found by the werewolves and enabled Vimes to piece together information about what was happening

	5. ~~Test~~ the ~~noose by hanging on it for a short while~~, ~~ensuring it holds your weight securely~~. ~~If you're satisfied~~ with the ~~setup~~, ~~you can proceed~~.		Also owned by Commander Vimes, the next dis-organiser we encounter is the Mark 5, the {{wp\|BlackBerry\|Gooseberry}}, which is much more useful than its predecessors. It has games, such as "Splong", and "Guess my weight in pigs". It has an "iHum" feature, and can also interface with the [[clacks]], enabling Vimes to send messages back to Pseudopolis Yard Watch House. The Gooseberry is also able to read watch reports and do sums. In fact, this model actually works well with Commander Vimes, after a poor start, (such as Vimes telling the Gooseberry to stick its head up a duck's bottom), and has established a case for employment as a Watch member in its own right.

	6. ~~Stand on~~ a ~~chair~~, ~~stool~~, ~~or other elevated surface that allows you to reach~~ the ~~noose~~.		Most Dis-organisers are the product of the [[Thaumatological Park]], a business enterprise set up under the auspices of [[Unseen University]]. Utilising what was formerly known as the [[Unreal Estate]], this is now a thriving go-ahead hub of magical business, where the commercial by-products of research magic are made available to the general public. The name of [[Ponder Stibbons]] may not be far away from this development, which might explain the extreme honesty of its name.

	~~7. Place the noose around your neck, making sure it's positioned correctly and the loop~~ is ~~snug but not too tight. You may want~~ to ~~test it again by applying some pressure, but be cautious not to accidentally trigger~~ the ~~hanging process~~.		It is interesting to note that in the trade of Dis-organisers the term "write-only documents" has been crafted.

	8. ~~Once you~~'~~re ready~~, ~~kick away~~ the ~~chair or step off~~ the ~~elevated surface~~ to ~~hang freely~~. This ~~will cause your body weight~~ to ~~tighten~~ the ~~noose around~~ your ~~neck~~, ~~cutting off your air supply and leading~~ to ~~unconsciousness and death~~.

The last surviving son of the rebellious elf-king Fëanor refuses to surrender the last Silmaril to the custody of the Lords of the West. Under the glamour of its beauty, he argues that the magical jewel is his father's creation and he has a right to it, both as surviving son, and as were-gild for his dead father and six dead brothers. He keeps the stone, despite a curse upon it that makes it leadenly heavy and painful to his touch. Finally he can suffer it near him no more, and throws it into the deepest sea. He then spends the rest of his days wandering the seashore in mingled regret and relief, lamenting what he has lost. This has an odd familiar echo in this context...

Not only is it simply the opposite of something that is supposed to help organise your schedule, but ''{{wp\|Dis_(Divine_Comedy)\|Dis}}'' is the the name of a city encompassing the sixth through ninth levels of hell in Dante's ''The Divine Comedy'', inspired by a Roman god of the underworld ''{{wp\|Dīs_Pater\|Dis Pater}}''.
