[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Tolkien's first book or good book came out in 1937 (the Hobbit) and if you switch the last 2 digits it makes 1973 the year he died kinda wierd

Pirotess · 12-14-2001, 09:32 PM

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Spooooky indeed..

Elrian · 12-14-2001, 10:55 PM

Nah, merely coincidence. Besides Spooky is my cat! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] But this Picture that keeps breaking the pages in here is annoying as hades!

Pirotess · 12-15-2001, 12:13 AM

Coincidence you say? Nahhh Come on, like what are the odds? Old JRR definitely had it coming..

BTW Does Spooky need a shave? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Just checkin'...

And what Picture are you talking about? O_o I don't see anything..
"annoying as hades"? Aw C'mon Elrian, show a little respect! hades isn't annoying, he's just an infernal hottie! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Elrian · 12-15-2001, 02:37 AM

Nope, Spooky don't need a shave, if his previous owner heard that one, hmm I don't think he'd be happy. I don't think JRR had it coming it was just his time.

Serevian The Ranger · 12-15-2001, 08:52 AM

I had a cat named spooky a long time ago but (sniff Sniff) my mom said it ran away

02-01-2002, 01:53 PM

Spooky... as in Spooky Mulder? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Frahhamn · 02-01-2002, 02:34 PM

hey.... that means i'll die in 1948... HAW HAW.

the_master_of_puppets · 02-04-2002, 01:52 PM

i dont really c any connection in the dates. i mean, ru trying to say because of that hes died and became a hobbit himself? *confused* i dunno, but i think its random coinsidence. sorry! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

02-08-2002, 11:11 AM

The real coincidence is between the year of his death and the poem of the Riongs of Power
3... for the Elf
7... for the Dwarfs
9... for the Man
1... for The Dark Lord

May it be the shadows come... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Balefalathiel · 02-08-2002, 11:30 AM

Well, That's SPOOKY!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 02-09-2002, 09:46 AM

... and predicts end of the world in 3791.. a-a-a-a!

*wails

Nuinrog · 02-09-2002, 10:04 PM

Oh well thanks for cutting human lifespan a few hundred years for us! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

02-10-2002, 12:06 PM

Well that is pretty weird...never looked at it that way. Cool, but nonetheless spooky.

02-25-2002, 01:50 PM

What about in th poem at the beginning the numbers reading from the bottom down read 1 9 7 3 the year he died.thats scarier in my opinion. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

02-25-2002, 02:27 PM

Or is it wierd that he died at the same age his wife died? *-8-2-*

hoo haw haw haw..... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

maybe his life is just full of coincedence.

Tarlondeion Of Gondolin · 02-25-2002, 03:03 PM

Very spooky

03-05-2002, 05:33 PM

Whats stranger is that i share the same date of birth as him, january 3rd. He was born 1892, i was born 1982. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gorin Icearms · 03-05-2002, 10:23 PM

Here's a quick formula for fun.

Cat + tape + four paws + hard-wood floor = hours of entertainment. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

The most scary/spooky in here is Gorin Icearms if you ask me....aaaah! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Child of the 7th Age · 03-22-2002, 02:29 PM

What happens in 3791? Does the present Age of the Domination of Men give way to the Age of the Domination of ???????. I mean, if the Elves who seemingly had it together more than we do passed on, why not us to? Who's next? Although Tolkien says we have to be around to sing the Second Song of Iluvatar at the end of time, so may be we're ok for a while. sharon

HerenIstarion · 03-27-2002, 12:31 AM

Age of Lemmings approaching, oh my...

Kalessin · 03-27-2002, 09:04 PM

OMG! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] if you re-arrange the letters in Tolkien you get "One Kilt" ... now THAT is totally, uh, spooky and, um, awesome [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
If you guys are interested in spooky numbers (and not Spooky Mulder, though he is a worthy hobby indeed) check out the number 17 in connection to Nicholas II, the last Czar of Russia. Now that's what I call
scary as hell.

VanimaEdhel · 03-29-2002, 06:34 PM

On the topic of spooky...no, I just have nothing to say on that topic, just wanted to contribute to the freaky little thread because...well...I'm pretty freaky.

All those year things are freaky! Haha...oh...do any of you have Enya CD's? Well, do you know the song Cursum Perficio? Well, it is based on the engraving over Marilyn Monroe's last home...It is "My journey ends here". Really close to right after she bought it, her "journey" ended there: she died [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] . I really loved Marilyn (not like I knew her...she was way before my time. My time, btw started in 1987, the year I was born).
