i heard a great insult today... somehow this whol discussion made it even
funnier.

in the Symarillion, it talks about the creation of the world, and how it
was strictly musical.. these beings heard a song an dliked it so much,
that they began to sing along. they would learn new songs and the world
was made out of song. that's a porr description of what really was
written... but i found it fascinating, along with the idea that pluto
sings (as do all the stars).
next to words, i find it one of the most fascinating languages...
