BW- if you ever get that Hall of Fame made you simply must include Cap'n Saucepan's Map.

It's very

and kept me

for quite a while.

BW, I wish to know all about the words. Was there a pre-made list that came with the code, and you added your own ME words? (I don't think words like "Frodo" and "Fatty Bolger" would come with a list.)
Or are they gleaned from a webpage? Like, if I suddenly typed in "ennui" it would appear in someone's millionth rotation?

(Because if that last case is true...to to to to to to the the the the for for for for it it it it of of of of of and and and and too too a a a...it would be great.)

The Flash application came with a list of common words, a list of punctuations, and a list of suffixes. I immediately added Middle-earth words, and later added numbers and spaces. Since then, I have tweaked the word lists a bit, and I continue to do so. I will try adding a few more of the words you have suggested and see how it works out.

I've added several buttons to advance the Magnets forwards or backwards by more than one entry. This will enable you to scroll though the entries faster!

Radagast turned Bill Ferny into an aging toad, laughed, and exclaimed, "Do the Robot!"

That's brilliant! *laughs*

Wow. I can't believe how much time I just spent.

Excellent fun.

I just realized how much fun this thing was.

"Imrahil considers Gimli's dead troll's laundry as Lobelia Sackville-Baggins"

and

"captain Grishnakh believes The Mouth of Sauron's Ent and Fatty Bolger already saw Pippin break Amsterdam!"

are both my work.

Absolutely hilarious.

EDIT: Just posted another one:
