And why does she have long, cascading red hair??? Tut tut; no red hair allowed in Middle Earth; it's not canon. Out you go!
I'm sure I'm missing something vitally important here, but someone tell Maedhros to go dye his hair before the rulemakers of Middle Earth find out!

I used to do things like that. I memorised the entire list of British monarchs from 1066 onwards, including Scots ones, and the years they reigned. Then I went on to learn the periodic table.
Ah, useful hobbies! Did you know that the first thing I had to do upon entering a graduate chemistry class was to memorize the periodic table? I had never done that before...seems you would breeze through it, Lalwendë!

I also had memorised every number one single from 1962 onwards. And I used to name objects after famous artists and scientists.
Did your list happen to begin with Love Me Do? (Or was that 1963? I'm a bit rusty...) And the only case I can recall of having named something after a famous artist was a cat I dissected in Biology class--his name was Voltaire...heh heh...I couldn't talk to him. Cat French is worse than my French! OK, now I'm getting weird, so I'll sign off!

Cheers!

P.S. S179276SP is Spock's serial number...why do I remember this and forget Boyle's Law?
