I've just made the greatest thrift purchase I will ever make in my entire life...

@Andrewnsnyder During an undergraduate trip to England I took a personal trip to their graves. I count it as one of the few pilgrimages I ever took in my life.

I think of this letter every time I read of Beren and Luthien, and it only crushes me more as time passes.

Man, I just revisited this letter, which Tolkien wrote after the death of Edith... "I never called Edith Lúthien – but she was the source of the story that in time became the chief pan of the Silmarillion. It was first conceived in a small woodland glade filled with hemlocks at Roos in Yorkshire (where I was for a brief time in command of an outpost of the Humber Garrison in 1917, and she was able to live with me for a while). In those days her hair was raven, her skin clear, her eyes brighter than you have seen them, and she could sing – and dance. But the story has gone crooked, & I am left, and I cannot plead before the inexorable Mandos."

"His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Evil things did not come into that valley."

Some inhabitants of the Shepherds Valley. The Sheepdog, Ostler, Weaver, and Vintner.

My favorite pet theory is that Tolkien intensely disliked Dune not because of its religious commentary, but that the name Duncan Idaho sent the Oxford Professor who spent his life studying languages into a rage-induced aneurysm.

@achillghost I remember watching a documentary about this and there was a good quote that, oftentimes in U.S. bases out west, the vastness and unhospitable nature of the land itself is the main deterrent for trespassers trying to access it.

There was a famous case of a group of German tourists going missing in Death Valley after their car broke down. They headed for the China Lake military area on their map, assuming it would be a base as in Europe, not realizing it was 4,400 km of uninhabited desert

It's a semi-regular phenomenon that Europeans fly to the Yukon, walk into the woods and are never seen again. They figure there will eventually be some village where they can stock up on supplies, but the only points on their map are temporary camps that have been abandoned since the Gold Rush.

@CrankyFed I honestly don't have a lot of hope for it. If he intentionally got rid of the "murdering child" as he call her, I have to guess he is not going to be in keeping in the weirder aspects of the book.

If you've seen Denis Villeneuve's Dune movies and have not read the books, I don't think you're prepared for how weird Part 3 is going to be

@325Dino @moriko38 @kgproject2 I meant more of the cliche of a modern professional army being repeatedly "beaten" in their encounters with particular wildlife. The screaming is interesting, reminds me of cougars often causing mistaken reports of a woman being attacked.

@Cydwarf @moriko38 @kgproject2 한국에서 에뮤전쟁같이 야생동물 학살하려 한적은 따로 없고
고라니 특유의 울음소리가 처음 듣는사람 입장으로는 사람이 괴성을 내는듯한 소리와 비슷해서 경계근무에 혼동을 주기도 합니다
특히 요즘 징집인원들은 고라니를 직접 본 경험이 거의 없거든요

뭐야 일본인들 고라니를 몰랐던거였냐
고라니는 한국군의 주적이다

@moriko38 @kgproject2 Is this the Korean version of the Emu War?

Renovation on a bookshop in Guildford, England in 1996,revealed a medieval chamber forgotten beneath the ground for some 700 years. Archaeologists have identified it as a Synagogue dating back to the year 1180. The oldest Synagogue remains on the British Isles.

@fakehistoryhunt I just assumed that, as is done with an upside down horseshoe in other parts of Europe and N. America, it is the Dutch method of warding off evil spirits and witches.
