Okay, i was just watching Jeopardy and one of the Daily Doubles read like this:

"The would be ruler of Middle Earth"

Now for those of you don't know, in Jeopardy, you are given an answer and you must give the question. Immediatly I said, "the Dark Lord" thinking of Morgoth who nearly had all of Beleriand (the most populous part of Middle Earth) in his grasp. Alas, the contestant answered, "Sauron", but got it wrong. Now here's the part that irked me. Alex Trebek said that the answer was The Lord of the Rings. (the category was "O Lord" which meant that the word "lord" had to be in your answer) Now who do you think was the "would be ruler of middle earth"? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
