Lucky her :) Hey, what does she think, is it rare?

As for me, you know me and my dragons :rolleyes: Athough I haven't given them much attention lately, because of the university and all that...

I just thought of a curious thing. Middle Earth is supposed to be based on ancient Europe, and yet, they have tobacco and potatoes. Tobacco and Potatoes originated in the Americas and got brought back to Europe by the sailors. So how did Hobbits get potatoes and tobacco?

The ancient Numenorians were sea farers though, they could have discovered it.

I've got a problem though. In the movie Legolas says

LEGOLAS: THe Uruks turned Northeast, they're taking the Hobbits to Isenguard!

But Isenguard was to the Northwest. How does that work?

That's a gaffe thats been pointed out by many people. I think there is some explination out there somewhere. Something about where he was standing or something.

Nup, it doesn't work. No matter where he was standing, from that point, Isenguard was northwest.

Hmm I can't seem to find the site now. If I do, I'll post it up.

That's possible, but what happened to all the potato and tobacco plants afterwards? The English didn't find out about them until Columbus made port in the Americas.

I am not too sure about tobacco, but there could've been a scenario where Middle-earth suffered its own Potato Famine and the crop died out.

When the deep purple heaven turns blue
And start to pray

Looking out on a silver-flaked sea
And ask the moon
Oh how soon, how soon
Will my love come home to me"--"Loneliness of Evening," Cinderella
