LOL! Funny, Gimli! I can think of a teacher at my school that would probably be that gullible.
I've had LOTR attacks myself. I just finished another fantasy book that I kept comparing to LOTR. Two characters described as smaller men reminded me of Frodo and Sam, another reminding me of Merry. Other characters reminded me of Gandalf, Gimli, Boromir, Sauron, and the Ringwraiths. I thought I was going crazy, but the beginning of that book seemed so similar to LOTR. It was a good book too.
