Edit: Thank you, Yavanna. I guess that means it's not a typo...oh well.

Pilates is a form of stretching and massage, somewhat like yoga. But I understand where you're coming from. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Interesting theory: if you don't have a good answer, remove your clothes and ask others to join you.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (Also, "layman's term" is not really a phrase you want to be caught misspelling, is it?)

I've read this page and the first 3, and it sure is entertaining!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Of course, the fact that it's 3 in the morning and I laugh at everything this late at night might be contributing to the fact that I'm almost falling off my chair from laughing so hard... but these are so funny!

possibly a merge of 'Has anyone heard of this new game' and... something else.

Either that or there's a space in the wrong place and a missing f. I had to read it a few times before I was completely sure it was mistake.

Are you sure that's a mistake? Yes, it's horrible, but I think it's what that meant to say... Perhaps it's better left as a typo though.

No, silly. The person obviously was trying to ask where the first ever hobbit (sometimes called "hobbit one") came into being. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Anyone notice that the name of one of the topics is spelled wrong? "Funny Pictures Contenued" should be "Funny Pictures Continued." I also saw someone spell toupe as "tupee." This gave me very nasty ideas, such as: "Tupee, or not tupee, that is the question," and various other bits of nastiness. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Saucy, I cracked up when I came across that one, but you beat me to it! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Here's a beauty that's not quite a typo, but I do want to share it:

Quote:

Aragorn fell in love with Eowyn, and she loved him, but he was destined to be King, and she was destined to become Stewardess.

Would she have worked for Balrog Airlines? ("Try our wings - we'll get you to your destination without the shadow of a doubt!")

The name of a topic:

charcater splicing!

Does this have something to do with crossbreeding LotR characters with cats? It could indeed be interesting...

Something I accidentally typed once, but caught myself before posting it:

Quote:

A typo in my TTT book:
