Thanks for the corrections, Nina, Cobwebs, Steve, and Protogenes. I've fixed the errors.

Aragost, Hallgrímskirkja was commissioned in 1937 and Tolkien started to write LOTR between 1937 and 1949. I think it's entirely possible (although there is no evidence for it as outlined in the article) that Tolkien had heard of the project.

Mobius, see additional definition of divine (other than being a deity) from The American Heritage Dictionary: "supremely good or beautiful; magnificent."

Obviously the sign warns pilots to properly anchor their planes onto cars. Don't want to have them lil' planes flopping 'round when the big wind comes.

You guys are fun! Thanks for making my day.

A raise in temperature will also cause plants to be more productive, so a weird effect of global warming is that we get more bountiful crop. At least for a while - if the temperature continue to climb, then there will be a steep drop-off in plant productivity.

"No, because there would still presumably be a right hand turn to get out of it."

Actually, the right-hand turn "rule" will fail if the person starts inside a disjointed island. In this case, you need something called a Pledge algorithm to solve this problem.
