..........

You're kidding, right? :?
'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'

I have a newspaper, sitting under my bed, from the 1940's that proudly proclaims "NAZIS SURRENDER" or something to that affect.

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

I don't think these total 500 kb. They down loaded in about 90 seconds through my 56K
