And now even more so. Any minute now, Mithadan will come along and tell us to get back on topic.

Sorry to ruin your picture of 2003...

...but I just checked my edition, and it says "necklace".

We has a neck, but we also has many other typos:

Quote:
"My dear Bard!" squeaked Bilbo. ". . . Now I will make you an offer! !"
(yes, the exclamation marks are that far apart) [Edit: the site doesn't let me put them as far as I want to; it shrinks the spaces]

Quote:
Surely you don't disbelieve the prophesies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole bene-fit?
(Sole bene-fit... sounds like a shoe business )

And from a peek into A Long Expected Party that was put as an appendix,

Quote:
"Well, so they say," said the Gaffer. "Yousee: Mr. Drogo, he married poor Miss Primula Brandybuck."

I have a feeling there was another gaffe that I can't locate at the moment... Will add it if I find it.

Thought that was just me. Let's do the Time Warp again!
