    It is time to celebrate the eleventy-first anniversary of J.R.R. Tolkien.
    It is the age at which Bilbo Baggins left Bagsend and left the One Ring for Frodo.

    Happy Birthday, J.R.R.

              And Eminem can't sing, but who cares?

              But this is indeed quite a milestone for Tolkien fans everywhere.

                      Hopefully you'll do a better job than Tolkien.

                          Well, I suspect I'll cease to exist at some time during an incident involving an overhyper chimpanzee and a discombobulator.

                            Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                              Are you all familiar with the Ring Verse?
                              Three Rings for the Elven kings under the sky,
                              Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
                              Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
                              One for the Dark Lord on his Dark Throne,
                              In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie,
                              One Ring to rule them all,
                              One Ring to find them,
                              One ring to bring them all,
                              and in the darkness bind them,
                              In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
                              Mark the numbers 3 7 9 1 If you reverse their order they will give you the year Tolkien Died: 1973 Also The Hobbit was published in 1937.

                              Odd isn't it?
