Unix and LOTR

For the really geeky LOTR / linux / unix / OSX folks out there try this:


1. Open the Terminal in Mac OS X (Applications / Utilities).

2. Type
cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history | grep "LOTR"

3. You should see a list, in month and day order, of events in Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. For instance, September 14 is the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo.
