... Hi Bill, that´s a very good suggestion. I quite often get only parts of the things told to me, and to save time I just ask "what", but maybe in the long...
Not really a face blind subject but since we are talking about Lord of the Rings, I thought I would mention my friend George figured out what it was that was...
Bill, I'm confused. First you say that hair "took" for you even though you grew up with very few people who had long hair. Then you say that if I was around no...
Actually, I think they differentiated the leading Uruk Hai with some sort of clothing or something. Or maybe it was because he was the only one who ever spoke....
Cute. I like that. By the way, if he wants to know, the words were (as I remember from the book): "Ash nazg thrakatuluk, Ash nazg gimbatul; Ash nazg...

Bill, No, in that person's case it is IQ, not hearing. Sometimes I have to just say, in frustration, "Please answer the question I am really asking." That...

What I've always been curious about is how people (presumably NTs) seem to know when you are looking at them, EVEN FROM BEHIND! Or, in a crowd. Lots of times...
