Ah, the Straight Dope. I used to devour the books, now I dip into the Reader's weekly run of the column.

Of course, like all good cultural ephemera, an online community has sprung up surrounding it. I'd seen the usenet stuff, but now there's apparently also a online forum board (less archivable than usenet, sadly, but that's the nature of things).

At any rate, within that board, as cited by Nobody's Doll, is the following thread of Lord of the Rings as Written By Others.

Hilarity ensues.
