This seems like a step towards the water wars

Sure it cost the taxpayers something, but that went directly into the pockets of the for-profit prison company. So you see, this is actually great for the economy!

If I recall correctly, all Maiar (of which sauron is one) were created by Eru before time was countable, i.e. “in the beginning”. Once valinor and the two trees were created, time was counted by “the years of the trees” which were each approximately 10 of our years, and several thousands passed before the end of the First Age (and then of course the second and third ages happened). I assume someone did the appropriate conversion and got the number from there. It seems reasonable to me.

Plus, once you’re old enough to pour your cruelty, malice, and will to dominate all life into some jewelry, you stop counting the years, don’t you?

Oh definitely nothing as noble as that

I’m 40, haven’t been in school for 18 years, and “I can’t, it’s a school night” is a common refrain from me when my friends try to get me to stay out drinking. Everyone understands, no one argues (well, sometimes they’ll plead one more time). So, I will not be updating my phrasebook for correctness

It can have this whenever it wants

I may agree with Olbermann here but let’s not forget:

Yes I know my enemies

They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me

Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission

Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite

All of which are American dreams

I remember when this was OC on soupposting
