It's not exactly a typo, but when I was giving a children's church lesson a while ago, I said Aragorn instead of Abraham, and thorougly confused everyone - including myself.

Haha, funny

This reminded me of an episode that happened about half a year ago, we were having a practice with our speech class, we went to a big historical church to practice how well we can speak in large areas. We have been given a piece of paper with a short biblical text which we were supposed to speak aloud; it was from the Revelation chapter 1, and at one moment when the text goes like this:

Quote:
John to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come;
and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
And from Jesus Christ
I had the urge to automatically continue:
Quote:
on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
The main reasons why the continuation popped automatically into my head was probably from part caused by the pace of the texts (it would fit quite well) and the mention of the throne, and also because in my native language, the biblical text says "And from Jesus Christ, who..." and the Ring poem says "One for the Dark Lord, who sits on his throne..." using the very same rather archaic pronoun for "who".

But it was interesting - and slightly tense, as I really almost said it, and it would have caused probably quite surprised expressions from the audience.

P.S. I guess these both could go to the "Top ten signs you are addicted to LotR", though. Maybe that would be better... well, but since it's already here...
