Love me some three stooges, except for Curly Joe, who was just annoying and sounded gay. On the other hand, their feature film Three Stooges Meet Hercules was pretty funny, even with Curly Joe.

That’s classy, alright. Good on Tolkien. I’ve read Lord of the Rings two or three times.

Nothing whatsoever to do with the Germans.

Fars is after the Euphrates River, Nhar Pras in Hebrew.

Wherever this whole “Aryan” notion comes from, it’s not Germanic or Nordic peoples, and it has nothing to do with the myth about the sunken city of Atlantis, either.
