| you might want to force people to answer in order, that way the answers to later lines will not bee answered, but it also would cause you to have to type words over again |

| @twomoons: That would just about exclude anybody who has not learnt it off by heart! |

| @Jonberg: I had the same problem. I retook the quiz and it worked. It must be a glitch if more people got "all" than "a" |

| ok twitterheads, enough with the @ sign. it makes just as much sense to address a person and put a comma, instead of putting the @ sign in front of the person's name. there is no reason for this convention. get it out of your head. |

| anyone have a good explanation of the meaning behind this poem? |

| Have you read Lord of the Rings? If you haven't i would highly recommend that you do. If you don't want to here is an explanation but it won't make sense if you haven't at least seen the movies This poem refers to Aragorn. All that is gold does not glitter refers to the fact that he is awesome but doesn't look that great (at least in the first book). "Not all who wander are lost" refers to the fact that before the books start he does a lot of wandering but he always knows where he is. "the old that is strong does not wither deep roots are not reached by the frost" those two lines mean that although his linage is old he is strong. "from the ashes a fire shall be woken a light from the shadows shall spring renewed shall be the blade that was broken the crown-less again shall be king" is a bit of a prophecy basically saying that they shall reforge narsil and aragorn shall become king. |
