Atlantis, the Great Flood & all that (NEW CONCEPTS)

[Pete Jones]

My seven-year-old allowed me to read him The Hobbit, the first book of the LotR trilogy, and then all but the last hundred pages of the second book. He said it was too scary and it was keeping him from sleeping. He asked me to keep reading it and tell him how it ended (i'm obliging).

But what I learned from these books is that Tolkien knew every single landscape formation imaginable (at least in England, if not Doggerland). This included moors, meres, fens, pales, dales, vales, grimpens, and dingles.

The following error message just popped up on my work computer in relation to our AI tool, which seemed about right. Seems like a Lord of the Rings plot point:

Error
failure to get a peer from the ring-balancer.

I think I need Ishmael to explain this to me.

The Eye of Sauron

It has potential.

It's in northern dialect, is it?

[Boreades]

Aye.
