Hello to everyone!! I kind of stumbled upon this place from another forum. I so far recognize one person... Mr. Xyzzy.. I saw your post about this place @ PPT (I am Princess Miyu there.)

So yes, I am Isabellkya; I was introduced to Tolkien through my Calculus teacher, because he was a fanatic and always had Tolkien related bonus questions on all of his exams. Haha. So I read the books, mainly to answer the bonus questions; and have been hooked ever since then.

This looks like a great place, quite a bit to peruse. !

If I may ask, Isabellkya... what kind of Tolkien bonus questions might you have gotten on a calc test?

The mind boggles.

and wow, boo radley, you've just soared in the reputation...

Non of you newcomers has stopped by my barrow and said hello! That is surely a mistake and therefor I am here to welcome you to these clamy barrows of ours, may you deaths be ghastly!

To answer you Boo; they were obviously not math related in any fashion. They tended to be pretty obscure questions; which weren't easily answerable. The one that sticks out in my mind the most; had to do with Gimli's father (Gloin I believe) and a war that he was in. It has been a few years since I have read any of the books, and so the information is not at the front of my consciousness.

Ah, good.
I was worried there for a second.
I mean, I've heard of new math, but Middle Earth math*?

(Hmmm... Middle Earth math... when I say that out loud, it just doesn't sound... right.)

And Gil-Galad... my reputation? Well, I always try to be affable and whenever possible, to smell nice. As my Great Aunt Ruth used to say, "You can be forgiven much as long as you don't smell bad".
Words to live by.
