Kanske ett tecken på att vissa som kallar sig forskare har för mycket fritid:

"University of Bristol climate scientist Dan Lunt, writing under the name 
Radagast the Brown, released a paper today where he used powerful 
supercomputers to model the climate of Middle Earth. So of course he had to 
release it in Dwarvish, Elvish and English. He made some fascinating scientific 
observations, too.
  Lunt, who works in the University of Bristol's Cabot Institute, used the same 
kinds of climate modeling software used by scientists who contribute to the 
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report. This software 
harnesses the powers of supercomputers to extrapolate about future climate 
changes, based on millions of years of data from Earth's past."




Vi kan konstatera att IPCC rört sig från en av sagans domäner till en annan...





--Ahrvid





Ps. Och det hela verkar en smula slarvigt gjort: "Readers have discovered that 
these papers are not in actual Elvish or Dwarvish, but instead in silly fonts 
designed to look like those languages. We are a little disappointed."
