You are incorrect. Note that the page says it is "a guideline... and is considered a standard that all users should follow. However, it is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense".
It applies this guideline to All material that is challenged or likely to be challenged. Therefore, "The sun is made up mostly of hydrogen" does not need a reference.
Conjecture and fantasy falls well outside the realm of death threats.
If we were in a post-apocalyptic future, I might very well degenerate to eating other people in order to survive. That doesn't mean I plan on imminently carrying out anything of the sort.
It would of course, be mandatory to display your card on the front of any clothing you're wearing
A capital idea, my good fellow! Perhaps we can even snaz it up a little to make it not so drab. I'm partial to yellow myself. And give them funny shapes? I've always liked that one old western sheriffs wore...
I don't think any producer would finance a large scale, fantasy epic with such an overtly bitter ending. We have more of a chance with Silmarilion (ending with the War of Wrath).
Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age, while short, does cover some of the hobbit/LOTR timeline (about 5 pages). Also, 4 volumes of HoME focus entirely on the trilogy:
The Return of the Shadow
The Treason of Isengard
The War of the Ring
Sauron Defeated (volumes 6-9)
The Silmarilion details the events of the First Age of Middle Earth, from the beginning of time to Melkor's defeat (he was Sauron's boss). It also skims over the Second Age -- the rise of fall of the kingdom of Numenor (where Aragorn's ancestors were from) and the making of the Rings of Power through the first 3000 years of the Third Age. It is written in a much different style (often compared to a history book) and was pieces together by Christopher Tolkien from his father's notes (like everything post-LOTR)
After Silmarilion is Unfinished Tales, expounding on parts of Silmarilion. Narn I Hin Hurin - "The Tale of Hurin", Tuor and his coming into the hidden city of Gondolin, and more background on the second and early third ages.
After UT is The Books of Lost Tales (1 and 2), part of The History of Middle Earth, which is 12 (!) books of research on all parts of the story hiterto. Letters, extrapolation, essays. Really deep stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Middle -earth has a complete list.
I "read" silmarilion when I was in high school, didn't like it at all and failed to spend the time slowly going through it to take everything in. Going through it again in my mid-twenties and having an exponentially greater appreciation of it, even more so than Lord of the Rings.
Starting at 8 a.m. last Thursday, federal Border Patrol agents blocked the highway outside town. For four hours, every car, truck and bus driving south on Highway 101 was pulled off the road and all passengers questioned.
seven undocumented workers, who were shipped to a detention center in Tacoma.
Carted off 160 miles to not even a jail, but a detention center.
Friday's announcement comes on the heels of last week's federal checkpoint set up outside of Forks for those driving south on U.S. Route 101, who were required to prove their U.S. citizenship.
Like I said about hiring more staff - if off-hours support is an issue, hire staff for the off hours! I worked 5-midnight for a time and loved it, perfectly for my circadian rythmn. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a replacement.

where's the value in the Elite SKU?
If you believe in yourself, stay in drugs, drink your sku, and don't do milk, you'll go somewhere.

That's like saying "stopping malware would be easy if only Bill and Linus forged and alliance and combined their powers"
But they have free Super Saver Shipping, so it balances out.
It's more likely than you think.

or some other nonsense statute thus clogging the courts with stupid cases
Don't worry, I'm sure jolly 'ol England is well on the way to eliminating that step entirely, saving you, the citizen, much wasted time!
That's right, they're not titled to you. They are inalienable.
I will leave http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Diamond to explain the truth.
It better be fucking bulletproof at that price, too
Fortunately, I think we're all aware that diamond is one of, if not THE hardest metal known to man,
I call the any key
#1. There is no security without physical security.
Hire a bodyguard to stand over your ethernet jack, then chase down and beat interlopers with a nightstick? I like the way you think...
I read The Dark Tower and Half-blood Prince around the same time. Was hoping Rowling would have tipped her hat to Tolkien like King did to her.
Harry: (jumping madly around at the top of the tower): Curse the Snape! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it for ever!

Like a wine fine, you have to let it age a bit.

Now there's an idea. If only there was a way to make the barcode impossible to lose...

Or what?
No. You see, here's the problem: You don't know the history of Scientology!

Good point on the fallacy. Touche :)
At lunch, I do what I please -- which is usually eating a small lunch and taking a 15-minute nap in the car.
Sir, you are a genius.
