A dose of LOTRmania
For the whacky environmentalist cum ultra diehard LOTR fan, here’s your chance to finally make that dream Elven adobe in the trees. From PopSci.com, "architects Mitchell Joachim and Javier Arbona, along with environmental engineer Lara Greden, have designed a house that will grow from a few seedlings into a two-story, water-recycling, energy-efficient abode". This statement and the video below isn’t as LOTRish as you might imagine, but all it takes is some imagination…
…and just when you think that politicians are dull and unimaginative, you obviously haven’t heard of what U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum did. Nope, that’s a name of a Congressman, not a medical facility for long-term illness. The latter is spelt sanatorium/sanitorium/sanitarium. In an attempt to ensure that even schoolkids know what the Global War On Terrorism (also known as GWOT in politi-speak) is all about, he used LOTR as an analogy. That’s odd, I remembered that Iran is in the middle of Iraq and Afghanistan, not America and the UK. Did somebody rearranged the world while I was away? 
PopSci Blog covered it here (you should really read the comments section while you’re at it btw) and for a more detailed read of what he said, go here.
