Fish and Chips originated from the port city of Cadiz, which is also the oldest city currently in Europe. It is believed that the Phoenicians built it. So you could speculate that fish and chips are the oldest meal in Europe. And Middle Earth being a mock-up of Europe (and possibly a cry back to a Europe before the last major ice age), it might in fact be historical fact. The height of Phoenicians is disputable, but taking into account the increase of food intake among humans, the average height of people over the millenia would have probably increased.

Therefore, in this vague historical period Tolkien has written about, it is very possible that dwarf-like people ate fish and chips.

there's also a healthy amount of macaris' in middle earth, most run by hobbits.
their feet get manky with hair and grease though...

L"orc"anzo, I'm talking to you too

You're very smart. Very, very smart. But you can't explain one thing: the magic ring.

(Unless you're referring to men having sex with horses, of course...)

Oh... that's simple. Because the dwarves were miners, and it being unlikely that they had gas lamps or modern electrical lamps, it can be assumed that their eye-sight was terrible. Perhaps there was a ring that was so shiny the effect it would have would be to "blind" these dwarf people. In effect, this would make the wearer "invisible".

No, we're getting other, older ones.

The EU Structural Funds Commission and the World Bank have joined forces. As a result, some time in the new year, Istanbul (or Constantinople as it will once again be known) is to be lifted onto 330,000 pairs of roller skates and wheeled around Europe for a 9-month tour.

Wowed critics are referring to the city as "the Bob Dylan of urban transport".

it'll take an awful lot of raw energy and physical effort to do that...

...so i'm sure they'll admit that it's a tour-de-force.

ba-dum, tish!

actually, no, that didn't really work.

I've just been invited to go home early - yarooo!

However, I have to admit that the pope's last post is sending me home a very confused Anne. Cheers, your excellency.

Back to TTT, i think the Sam and Frodo relationship has reached new levels of 'are they going to kiss or what?'

'Don't you fuck him Samwise Gamgee, and i don't intend to...'

LOTR!LOTR!

Zoinks, saw it last night with tolkeinophile(!?) gf, a great movie to play "If you know what I mean" with. Y'know, say "if you know what I mean" after every single line of the filim, making all kinds of really clever and y'know naughty sounding phrases?was that a tumbleweed rolling by? Anyhoo, I thought it was pretty grand, although I did get bits of Jarjar binks syndrome from gollem/whazizataorm... I get so spoiled by the old skool depth-of-focus type camera tricks they use so effectively in the 2 films it just doesn't have the same impact seeing so much continuous computer generated stuff. Granted, the gollem scenes (saw this on some "making of" tv show) were actually filmed in real time on the settings with an actor scrambling along in character, his shots were like comped with the generated stuff. So I'm sure this is all über state of the art production value, I reckon the generated stuff just doesn't look...."real" yet. Anybody else think gollem was a wee syrupy at times? Visually and emotionally? Am I a sad unsettling nerd for asking after a fictional characters' emotional depth?
