: : There has been so much activity on this board recently that it is becoming very difficult to follow up on some threads. Can we have another one for those of us bored with the black/white debate between Frode and Michael?: : Maybe it could be called The Black Council. : : Hugh :) : Alas I re-opened the "Muddy grey" debate. : What about, knowing that orcs were cunning and mechanically adept, which features of modern life have a probable orcish origin? : My bet is on a certain burger chain, Gorbag=Ronald perhaps? Fell meats! : Martin. Hey unfair! The poor orcs are getting another bashing! I've always had a soft spot for them and now I hear them being compared to the likes of Gates and Ronald MacDonald just because people don't like them, Gorbag would turn in his grave. My orcish inventions: spiritous liqour
motorbikes
contact sports (esp. American Football and Rugby)
the rebel yell
dirty sex
horror movies
mugging
heavy metal music
recreational drugs Why not think about the other peoples too, I'm almost certain that the hobbits invented the toilet, dwarves must have been the ones to come up with projectile weapons, sadly all I can think of that has come to our time from those poor faded elves is sparkling mineral water.
