OK! (Birdland jumping up and down) Where'd you find THAT! Chapter and verse, please. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"The Naming of Hobbits is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a Hobbit must have
THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

...But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover-
But THE HOBBIT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.

(Apologies to T.S. Eliot)
