There is a story on one of the commentaries on the special edition Rotk that talks of the dwarf runes that's kind of funny.<P>I hope I have this right.<P>After they completed the set they invited some Tolkien expert to come see the runes as they were extremely proud of them. Apparently they talk of much of the history of Moria. Anyway, soon after arriving the expert storms out of the set very angry and saying they should be ashamed of making such a mockery of this.<P>It turns out that the guy couldn't read the runes at all and his reaction was caused by a carpenter or someone who joked, "and over there it says ... (I can't remember)." It took them quite a while to sort out the mix up.<P>If someone can fill in the spaces left by my gap filled memory it would be appreciated. It's on the tech/props/costume commentary. Maybe I'll give it another listen tonight.<P>H.C.
