Are you all familiar with the Ring Verse?

quote: Three Rings for the Elven kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his Dark Throne, In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie, One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

Mark the numbers 3 7 9 1 If you reverse their order they will give you the year Tolkien Died: 1973 Also The Hobbit was published in 1937.

Odd isn't it?

He was a prophet. Hence the Two Towers.

You'd be suprised how much unintended prophecy comes out in music and literature.

Yes, of course. Did you know that if you convert the words of the 22nd line of Shakira's "Underneath Your Clothes" into two-digit numbers and subtract the numberical values of the word "february", you can the transpose the digits to get BUSH WILL ATTACK IRAQ 2002 is ASCII?
