PONTIAC, Mich. — Jim Bird was looking for loot in Cass Lake when he stumbled upon someone else’s lost treasure. Bird, a 54-year-old retired mechanic from Clarkston, found a man’s platinum and gold wedding band, engraved with the words “Cross My Heart,” the initials RSF and CAF and the date, 5-9-98. [More]
(It’s interesting to note however that Mr. Bird has since taken to talking to himself and eating fish -Xo)

Sasha writes: The new What DVD magazine has just been published in Australia and contains an 18-page A-Z of the LOTR DVD. It also has a competition to win a copy of the DVD, t-shirt and other really cool stuff. Also has an interview with the films producers, Peter Jackson and shows you some of the special effects for the cave troll. Just something else to drool over for the next few weeks while we bide our time.
Norin Bronzeear sends word of another fascinating look at the world of Middle-earth. This week’s topic is dwarves. You can listen to the show on air if you live in Sherbrooke, Quebec, or online anywhere, between 4 and 6pm Eastern time. [More]
More Tolkien goodness on air today, for those of you who missed the first episode last week. It seems there’s plenty more to come! This came in from Norin Bronzear:
“Today on Passport to Middle-earth we will discuss the matter of the Dwarves. You thought the Dwarves were the least interesting of the people of Middle-earth? Well you should tune in then to discover they have a quite fascinating history and play an important role in Tolkien’s mythology. We will uncover the mysteries of their awakening (Did they awake before or after the Elves? When did they come to Beleriand?). We will describe and review the history of their various “colonies” (There were Seven houses? Where did they all go?). We will also explore in depth the rise and fall of Khazad-dum, and attempt to resolve the enigma regarding the Dwarf women: did they have beards or not?
And much more. We hope you will join our growing audience!
“You can listen to us on CJMQ 88.9 FM in the Sherbrooke area (Quebec, Canada) or via the internet here this Wednesday from 4pm – 6pm eastern time.”
