A new, previously unpublished book by Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien was discovered by accident in a box at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England, the News.com.au Web site reported. The yellowing 2,000-page handwritten manuscript contains Tolkien's translation and appraisal of the epic Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, which is thought to have inspired The Lord of The rings.

A new Tolkien book? Now that goes in Coffee's cool column.:D
 
Thor, Im going to England for vacation sometime within the next 5 years. And I would really like to meet you, so that I can smack the crap out of you.
 
If I'm lucky I might be going there this summer.

And if, by chance, we meet, I will smack him.

This sounds awesome. I wonder if his translation will be better than Seamus Heaney's, which was incredible.

I'll definitely be one of the first with that book. I can't wait to read it, I don't doubt that it will be incredible...the glorious milk of Beowulf's writer(s) is hard to sour. Too bad it's in Old English...
 
By the way Thor, they might just have someone other than Pete Jackson make Beowulf, if they ever do make it. That reduces the chances of the movie being incredibly awesome beyond what we can possibly manage, but then again anything lower than that might satisfy YOU.

I think that if you ever see The Two Towers, you will enjoy it so much that you will be ashamed to admit it:p
 
I am ashamed of nothing!!

And smack me up all you like, I'm bigger than both of yas!!
 
Thor, I heft around 1,200 LB book everyday, Im way bigger then you are. Also, the already made a Beowulf movie. It has Christopher Lambert in it...
 
lmao!! OK, 1,200lb, ok, whatever!! I lug around two heavy books and two heavy binders, plus CD's, CD player, skates and other various things!! But 1,200lb, be serious!!

Awoo, if they get a good cast and a good director with a half descent SFX guy then it should be better than LotR for sure!!

What did the guy say when he bumped into the wizard?
Saruman, I didn’t see you there.

What do you call a wizard who knows how to hit a little white ball with a club?
Cangolf.

One day a spell was cast on Aragorn’s wife that created a mirror image of her. This mirror image was a spy for Sauron and the Fellowship had to find her and stop her. When Frodo came upon her, he whispered to Sam, "Is that Arwen or Their-wen?"

One night two trolls were sitting by a fire dining on a fresh kill. As they pulled the meat out of the fire, one of the bones barely had any meat on it at all. One of the trolls plucked the bone out and started picking his teeth with it. The other Troll shook his head and said, "Stop that, it’s a bad hobbit."

Two orcs walk into a bar. The third one ducks.

What did the hobbit say when he couldn’t find his walking stick?
Hey! Where’s my walking stick?!

What is the difference between Sauron and The Easter Bunny?
Nobody knows, no one has seen either one.

What did Frodo say when he saw the trees dancing?
"That’s ENT-tertainment!"

What did Frodo say when he saw the elves dancing?
"It must be Christmas time."

What did Frodo say when he saw the dwarves dancing?
"Why the hell is everyone dancing!"

What’s the difference between Arwen and Morwen?
No, seriously, I’m asking.

What happened when Sam pulled Gandalf’s finger for a second time?
Gandalf released Morwen.
