I find a much more poignant and persuasive hint that it's *not*
the first time round:
When the mummies confront Dios, the present-king's father asks
him:
"How old are you?"
"I think... seven thousand years. But sometimes it seems much
longer."
But then, as far as Dios is concerned, surely we're both missing
the point - it is, in fact, every time around. Possibly he
suffers from the same sort of confused memory as Granny Weatherwax
in L&L.

To report spam, contact abuse@craybbs.co.uk
A complete history may also be available.
General notes:
- Only a small subset of usenet (261 groups) was sampled. Only
articles that hadn't been cancelled yet were counted. Actual
spam may have been much greater.
- Heuristics that detect single-posted articles are, by their very
nature, somewhat shaky. Innocent articles may be tagged as spam
because they share certain characteristics or keywords with
actual spam. In particular, a posted spam complaint that includes
the spam in its entirety will very often be identified as spam.
- Some posts may be forgeries intended to look like they came
from Craybbs.co.uk.
- The first entry in the history file is not used to compute peak
or average spam counts, as this entry covers an unknown number of days.
This may cause an apparent disreprency between spam totals and spam
averages.
