Betcha didn't know that Sauron is secretly a catfish/Azazel/some dead king - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

AKA these people are crazy.

The LotR-related part is is a little way down the page, so just scroll until you find it. Though if you're in need of some giggles, by all means, read on.

(Hope this hasn't been posted before...)

Heh...they seem to get all their LOTR lore from the movies (or at least view the movies as authoritative)- Gollum eating catfish, and Sauron as a "flaming red eye".

Now that isn't something I ever expected to see. What was all that junk about Sauron holding his arms up with a mace? It was so ridiculous, I laughed hysterically all the way through. Do these people think Tolkien was some sort of a prophet? Some people really need to increase their daily dose of reality.

Shoddy scholarship, shoddy scholarship... What is this rubbish about Sauron taking the form of a giant, flaming eyeball after his defeat in the Last Alliance?

Never mind the REST of it...

once I read that Sauron means the Abomination I immediately closed the tab

I didn't even bother to read it from start. Just glimpses of sentences... I think I might start to vomit.

Forgive them, Sauron, because they don't know what they are doing!

Argh! We're all going to die!

At long last, a Da Vinci code-style conspiracy theory involving Tolkien!

I love things like this, especially when they try to tie in something I know about and I can wreck all their theories. But what a surprise, yet another Freemasons = Evil theory, when the masons are mostly just a bunch of men who meet up for drinks. I suppose someone never got invited to join...

I read an investigation by The New Statesman about ten years ago which revealed many of these types of theorists are involved with anti-semitic movements, so exercise some caution before ever being taken in!

Otherwise, very amusing indeed!
