Not sure whether it's true (the latter part, of course ), and if they were to learn it, that they don't take it the wrong way (meaning, take it as appreciation of the bad things about them).

Though, Brno has the better architecture...

Brno? You mean that small serpentine before Vienna?

I tried looking up Radagast, since Gandalf seems to be getting a lot of attention as of now, but it has no results.
Which is a shame, because one of the names among the slavic pantheon is 'radagast', who deals with the wellbeing of travellers and such. I found it awhile back and probably posted about it (I can never remember half the things I post anymore...), but hopefully the trend program develops further to give a little info on poor Radagast.

In fact, the god is named "Radegast". Not that it would make any difference. I already said somewhere around here that we have Radegast beer as well (and speaking of it, there is a statue of Radegast on mount Radhošť here - well, and of course those who know Middle-Earth was real, are aware of the fact that it's the place where Rhosgobel used to be in the Third Age ).

Top results for Gollum: Chile, Mexico, Sweden.
Top results for Sméagol: Mexico, Brazil, Netherlands.
Conclusion: Gollum is not dead, he lives somewhere in Central or South America. Why not.

(and btw the one who made all the search entries is of course Sauron)
