If you want horrible... my TEACHER was teaching my TRILOGY class (a real live class) that Elves created the Dwarves!

That is one nasty misread, or just bad memory... Usually I let mistakes slip by (Numoranians, as opposed to Numenorians), but Elves? Nah... Aule. So then I had to explain to the class (all of whom refuse to read the Silm) what the Valar are, the difference between them and Elves, etc. That was one horrible experience.

Oh, and I've recently been volunteered to go explain The Hobbit to an 8th grade class that's reading the book. Problem being, I've not read The Hobbit for nearly a year, and my copy is currently buried under guitars at a friend's house. That should be blood-chilling, if I can't get my copy back before it happens.
