OK, since we're on that theme...and since I've been consuming far too much caffeine this evening...

Gandalf: Long, long I argued, and he argued with me. Then at last we came to dark and wet place, and his fiery Argumentum ad Hominem became like unto a thing of slime, the dread Petitio Principii, called also by the Dwarves the Circular Argument. We fought, and I debunked his use of the Fourth Element, and threw him down. Then he fled away through the nameless tunnels where gnaw the Argumentum Ad Absurdum and the foul Poisoning of the Well. I followed, clutching his cursed Venn Diagram. Up we went to the peak, and there I conjured a Proof, and so he passed away.
