For those of you who have not spent the night sleeping on the sidewalk CityLink have been wiring up webcams all over the place. Keep up with all the news and links on Stuff.co.nz. Just to show we are twice blessed, the sun is shining."

    "*of course, the first time they tried it, the humans broke ranks and just ran away from the orcs. What does that say?"

    Sounds like that commercial was right "when the courage of men fail"... :-)

    Good thing we had Aragorn eh ;-)

    My cellphone has just started reporting that I am now located in "MiddlEarth" instead of "Wgtn CBD", you can't do anything here (Wellington obviously) today without some Lord of the Rings theme affecting it.

      See if your cellphone is now on the PalantirNet[tm] service plan. If it is, try not to touch it if the LCD screen shows a glowing eye, okay?

    And what's the easiest way to get a large army of orcs for battle scenes? Yes, that's right, they used the New Zealand Army!

    I didn't realize the New Zealand Army was made up of orcs. No wonder they have never been defeated. Any opponents must be terrified. People just aren't used to fighting orcs.
