    The Babylon 5 article on that site had me spit my coffee onto my screen, no joke.

    How can people be that silly? =0

    It’s satire, until you check out the newsgroups. There *really* is quite a few that don’t realize that LoTR isn’t old fiction 😕 But until I hit the end of the article where they claimed JMS was silent, I didn”t know it was a satire site =p JMS has often claimed there are many homages.

    That Jar-Jarimir thing is a riot, was just about to link it myself.

    Priceless
