Sharkū has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

And yet another allegorical interpretaion of the works arises. This time, the exact opposite of the old and more common allegory, and one that is even less credible (if that is at all possible).<BR>Also, it shows how desperate one is with making up arguments for a cause that has no arguments for it, when one rearranges letters in names, even more so in cases where the names are invented painstakingly by a philologist. Saruman, however, is a name that is possible to be four times as old as the United States. Definitely an anti-Vinland statement by those Anglo-Saxons.<P>I could go on, but I don't want to grant the person who started this obvious hoax (by someone who has obviously not the slightest grasp of the Legendarium beyond LotR, if of that at all) the satisfaction he craves for, albeit I think it necessary to rebuke such silly demands for the more gullible.<P>Oh, and 'Let Freedom Ring' is a movie I would never watch. Ouch.
