Tolkien's birthday...

...is today. 1892.

Interesting that weetanya hasn't mentioned it. {a scoop!}

Ten years earlier to the day, in 1882, Oscar Wilde landed at New York. Asked by Customs officials if he had anything to declare, he replied, "Nothing but my genius."

Have you seen the latest LOTR? I have found it to be both amazing and somewhat unfaithful to the plot of the book "The Return of the King"
