but numbers are used like that all the time in license plates like BURNN8
Right, and I've even had some of them, but that made sense (at least somewhat). Is BURNN8 supposed to be "Burn and ate", "Burnin' 8", "Burning", or "Burn in 8"?

Burninate as in burninate the countryside, burninate the villagers. I was kind of iffy on the faith life interpretation, but so many others here saw it the same way, even that Matthew Faithfull guy managed to figure it out.

But how? If the 8 were not present, I could see that possibility. Deriving (the sound of) "ai" from 8 is just too big of a stretch.

I think Faith Life is probably the right interpretation. There is a house on one of my walking routes that has a SAURON license plate. Every time I walk past it I imagine the driver being something like the comic book guy dressed in a black cape, but in the 2 years I've been walking past the house I still haven't seen him.

I tried that once and woke up 3 weeks later in a cave chanting my precious. I'm not making that mistake again. I have a strange feeling he was the first one in line at this event: eye over Austin[^].
Video artist Luke Savisky has been commissioned to create a piece called The "I" of TX, to be projected on the Second Street water tower. Using a high-powered projector, Savisky will operate a live camera feed at San Antonio Street. Volunteers will sit at the camera and have their eyeball portrayed up on the water tower for all to see. Savisky is able to highlight a key architectural element – a water tower – and transform it with video. It's great to see this big festival support his installation work.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I always thought the writing in the LOTR was horrible. I loved the stories, but I hated the writing. [edit] yes I realize this was a line from the movie, not necessarily the book, but my statement still stands. [/edit]

well, Tolkien never expected his stories to become a cult phenomenon. His goal, if you have ever seen an interview, was to tell a folk tale. He was disappointed that Britain had such a mish-mash of cultures that there was no folk-history, or very little to speak of. So he created an "ancient" folk tale, so much of the stories are told in a folkish fashion. In some ways that is why it became a cult phenomenon. As bad as the writing is, it was designed for "the common man" and was well accepted as such. Or at least to some. However, there were times he got carried away and forgot his own reason and just wrote for the sake of writing, he admits it, and it is obvious in his writing at times. :) The hobbit, was a children's book to go with the other stories. So it was filled with grand adventure, and a few puns, and of course poetry (riddles in the dark and the like). It was strictly entertainment, though provided a brief origin for the ring of the other stories. Still it had little otherwise to do with the Lord of the Rings in order for it to stand on its own as well.

I don't like to think that I have that short of an attention span, but my issue was always reading 15 pages of history on every obscure location or person in the story for every page of story.
