My friend isn't getting the pillow reference. Can someone explain?
Ngugi
In FotR, at the Inn in Bree, Aragorn hid the hobbits in his room, while pillows were put under the blankets. When Nazgul tried to stab 1/2
evolution4407
Oh, right. I completely forgot about that scene. Thanks, @op!
evolution4407
I mean my friend. My friend forgot about that scene.

Ngugi
the hobbits in the night there were just pillows stabbed instead. 2/2
Zreen
Stupid sexy pillows. And expensive probably too, wonder if Aragorn reimbursed the innkeeper
Loveshead2
Barliman doesn't skimp on pillows.

#1 so yeah, but the difference between 1 and 1.5 is actually huge
Ferlin7
This. Also, the people who can't figure out 0-24 months in terms of years must REALLY suck at understanding time of day. No one goes >
Ferlin7
< beyond 24 with months because it stops being necessary.

ahumanbrain
I don't believe the one about Christopher Lee and Tolkien is true but I can't be bothered to look it up...
Ngugi
Seems you're right. Added a note under the pic; http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?post=773995#773995
ahumanbrain
there it is! i like this version better, honestly.
rudejohn
"Christopher Lee is the only actor from the movies to have met Tolkien in-person" is a good enough story without making up the Gandalf part.
Kirj4v4
But that's not true either. Martyn Sanderson studied under Tolkien.
rudejohn
"Only actor who plays a character important enough to have a name in the movies". Good trivia that Gate Keeper studied under Tolkien, though
Kirj4v4
True

The one with Pippin staying at Edoras made me ugly laugh. Thank you, Lore Master.

Tell me something cool I don't know about LOTR.
SigynRose
The complete compiled edition of Beren and Luthian came out in 2017. Nearly 300 pages long in total
ToasterDent
When Tolkien died, they found a partially completed draft for a LOTR sci-fi novel called "To The Moon And Back Again"
neomagus00
Oh, I've got this! Did you know that Viggo Mortensen broke ::muffled sounds of violence:: gender barriers for a generation of caring men?
enferno8
I think that's actually the most well known fact about the movies!
ToImproveYourDay
Hobbits are dry clean only and not dishwasher safe. Read the silmarillion.
tomcruisealwaysbringshisagame
Barad-Dur is Sindarin. The name in Black Speech is Lugbúrz
cbjfan
Did you know Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe when he kicked the helmet in The Two Towers movie?
Ngugi
Can take a shot: the Uruk raid leader Uglúk, who captured Merry & Pippin, was slain by Éomer "who dismounted and fought him sword to sword."
dogmoind
Shit, I literally just reread the series and I don't remember that.
enferno8
Well I knew he killed the leader 1v1, but I didn't know his name was Ugluk!
Salpinus
I've got two Q! Do they name themself? Does the names mean something in Orcish? Ugluk is surely ugly duck, no?
Ngugi
1 Don't know. 2 It's not translated AFAIK. So why not?
FallingStar7669
We do know that Primitive Elvish had a root 'ug' meaning 'dislike' (or perhaps 'unlike'); in general it had a bad sense. We also have a +
FallingStar7669
+ root 'LUKU' from which we got words for slime and mud. It's possible Tolkien combined these concepts into a single word.
aarkarr
Aragorn and Arwen are first cousins some large number (I've seen estimates between 40 and 60) times removed
WilliamHuskerAdama
Your parents are more related than Aragorn and Arwen
MacallanNeat
The world of Middle Earth is a sphere. But elves can see impossible distances, as if it’s flat, just because elf magic says ‘fuck physics.’
aarkarr
The world was flat, then Eru curved it to keep Men from reaching the Undying Lands if I recall correctly. Elves continue to treat it as flat

MacallanNeat
Holy shit even Middle Earth has flat-earth conspiracy theorists
Zeterai
So elves are ancient beings who exist within alien, eldritch geometries?
SomeDetroitGuy
#1 - There is a significant difference, developmentally, from a 12 month to 18 month to 23 month baby. Humans develop fast at that age.
marima9000
Thank you!
supergreenpasta
Sounds like something a 1yo would say.
alfindel
@SomeDetroitGuy seems to be at least 18 months old to write like this.
sonicman198281
Parent 2 parent that means alot because you see the development and can keep track, it seems some never had"early childhood class" good2see
SumatoMD
People without kids or don't work in childcare don't get it, that's life I guess.
sonicman198281
Idk why you're being down voted, its true. alot of people are poorly educated in this field and try to make a statement ? (too many)
CrazyCatLad
My baby literally turned 18 months today. I just 1.5 years though if people ask since they're usually interested in development phase.
flapperfemmefatale
I mean...that's nice, but I still don't care.
TheFunionKnight
I just reply with dunno h s big enough to do wipe his own crap on my walls though
grammarfairy
Cool, still only counts as 1.
OtterAvalanche
You are both correct.

ThanatosElNyx
1 and HALF!
contempted
Davmoran
Can confirm have one right now. Difference in a few months is huge
Salpinus
One, one and a quart one and a half, little over one and a half, nearly two, bit over two. Two and a half. Almost three, and so on
nero4ty2
if you don't care, don't ask, simple
ImpliedConsent
You’ll be the outcast at the park ?♂️
Salpinus
Whoever said I'd be taking my kid to a park, when I have the forest and lakes right outside my window? ?
ImpliedConsent
Hiking and outdoors is great, I do that with my son. But social interaction with other children. is also super important.
Guluzinyu
I agree, up to the 18 month mark. After that, it's "almost 2".
ImpliedConsent
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I hear most parents do weeks until maybe 3-6 months. Months until maybe 2. Then years ?♂️
NotTheMamaNotTheMama
Not sure so far. Usually after 10 weeks people start refering in months.
Akurei00
Guluzinyu: "How old is he?"
Parent: "47 months"
Guluzinyu: "Oh, okay. So almost 2".
Guluzinyu
At 2 you switch to years. I don't ever want to hear anyone say "47 months". That's "almost 4".
Akurei00
I'm a coder. I like to take statements as literals. It's funnier that way. If > 18 months, then almost 2 years.
Aksuuuh
After mine turned 1 I just refered to them in decimals, like 1.5 years old and such. Other people don't care about the precise age.
JohnDillermand
My system is; if birthday was less than 6 months ago, "he turned two in [month]", and if more than 6 months ago "he turns three in [month]"
JohnDillermand
Anyone interested han do the math themselves, and anyone else just gets the number of years.
ButteredNoodleDriver
He's actually 38880793 seconds old. Wait no. 38880796. Wait, no
specialeyes
Other parents of kids with similar age do. If we meet at the park it's all months never years
Aksuuuh
Well it comes down to reading the room.

I'll.... Eat a tuna sandwich on that bridge?
