Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

Gaia Online still exists??

The anoles are one of the few things I miss about living in Florida. There are lizards here in Kentucky, but they're more elusive.

My devil's advocate argument for the elves being there is that there were a bunch of battles in the north that didn't make it into the movie and only get mentioned a little in the books, and one of the important themes of LOTR is that all these disparate groups had to band together to fight Sauron. So having elves be at Helm's Deep is a way to show the different people fighting together in a movie series that was already pressed for time. Necessary? Maybe not. But it doesn't bother me as much as some of the other changes, because I can at least see a rationale for it.
