celine (Robert Fullmer):
"I cannot read the fiery letters," said Frodo in a quavering
voice.
"No," Said Gandalf, "but I can. The letters are Elvish, of
course, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which
I will not utter here. They are lines of a verse long known in
Elven-lore:
"This Ring, no other, is made by the elves,
Who'd pawn their own mother to grab it themselves.
Ruler of creeper, mortal, and scallop,
This is a sleeper that packs quite a wallop.
The Power almighty rests in this Lone Ring.
The Power, alrighty, for doing your Own Thing.
If broken or busted, it cannot be remade.
If found, send to Sorhed (with postage prepaid)."

Several years ago I was working as an instructor at a computer camp. I was
assigned to teach the introductory class in TTL logic and peripheral design.
So there I was, explaining the TTL high and low states. "Five volts
represents the 'high' state or a binary 1, and zero volts represents the
'low' state, or a binary 0." And I went on and on explaining the various
TTL Gates (AND, NOR, NAND, etc). Finally, I got to the Inverter (or NOT gate).
I explained that if you put 5 volts into it, you'll get 0 volts out, and if you
put 0 volts into it you'll get 5 volts out. To this, one person replied:
"Wouldn't that thing be awfully useful during a power failure?"
