Thumbs up

The hitchhikers guide to Middle earth has this to say on the subject of Ea;

"Ea", it says, "is mind bogglingly huge. There is a theory that states that if ever any one discovers just what it is and what it is for, the whole of Ea will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more confusing. There is a second theory that states that this has already happened. There is a third theory that states that the pervious two theories were concocted by a wily young editor of the Hitchhikers guide to Middle earth in order to create more inter continental paranoia and uncertainty and so increase sales of the book.
The third is perhaps the most likely, as the hitchhikers guide is the only book in the whole of the known earth to have the words "vá caurë!" (or "Don't panic" in the common speech) written in large friendly letters on the cover."

Sauron: One of the kindest, noblest creatures on the face of Middle Earth. All claims of past evilness are pure fabrication. Plus he paid me five bucks to say that.

Denethor: MOSTLY Harmless, except when around
a) food
b) open flames
c) Meela
d) Faramir
e) meddling wizards
f) ancestors if Isildur
g) hitchhikers
h) any combination of the above
NOTE- small bumbling hobbits are sometimes tolerated.

Fangorn Forest - Site of the famed Entmoot 2005 during which the head of the anthropology department at The Megalon University for Slowly and Painstakingly Discovering the Surprisingly Obvious presented what was later described by observers as a hastily drawn conclusion that all theories regarding the actual description of Balrog wings were rather shadowy. In fact the esteemed speaker went so far as to say that given the weighty nature of the debate, in general it would seem doubtful if any theory at all would fly, even if the aforesaid theory had wings.

In an aside, Professor Twotoes mentioned he had given up his research on the true shape of elf ears, finding the task pointless. And when questioned regarding his opinion on the exact location of the fabled Entwives, Twotoes commented dryly that the location of the Entwives had become a moot point since the discovery of the beautiful walking treeoids of the planet Sequian.

Twotoes stepped down from his post immediately after his return amid clamors that he best be sent to Sequian before decides what is beautiful and what is not, and now spends his time in relative seclusion as chief researcher of super intelligent shades of blue.

Agreed, it looses a little when you can't hear Marvin's tone of voice or the Pink Floyd music.

Rivendell: A nice villa-type setting with adorable trees. Has a wonderful outview of nearby streams, forest and those Mostly Misty Mountains. Be sure to bring your TV guide and catch the latest Soap between some of the Dell's most heated family debates. If you find yourself alittle nosy, be prepared to face the rath of a PMSing Father dealing with a persistent son-in-law and one heck of a mopey daughter. Avoid councils madeup of a bunch of anal retentive elves and dwarves...


Bree: A small 'out-law' type setting with all the strings attached. Known for its wonderful Inns, Forgetful bartenders, and 'shady' guests... Midnight strolls are not advisable for the unequiped.

Ponies: Wonderfully useful creatures until you reach Mines... Then they can just get in the way with of their needs... Known to not be known to find their way home...

Tolkien

Frodo: A short hairy footed hobbit, who is taller than most hobbits, but as you'll find is much shorter than you could ever hope to be. He also enjoys hanging out with a bunch of weirdos who hate each other, likes old guys, and enjoys talking about strawberries and cream in life threatening situations.
