Yesterday in conversation he said: "Elrond, he's as old as...as old as Yoda."
He may be factually/fictionally incorrect, but he has the makings a a grade A nerd.

You did correct him, though, right?

With a PowerPoint presentation he had been saving for just such an occasion.

Go nerds!
I don't know which is older. Elrond? Gollum is like half a yoda?
Posted by Dan_Frank (Member # 8488) on :
Elrond is substantially older than Yoda, yes.
Posted by Sean Monahan (Member # 9334) on :
Especially considering that he's still alive.
Posted by Aris Katsaris (Member # 4596) on :
Elrond is over 6400 years old at the time of "Lord of the Rings", having been born in the late First Age -- and living through the entirety of the Second and Third Ages.
Galadriel (his mother-in-law) is even older, older than the entirety of the human race.
Older yet is Cirdan, who was already being busy long before Galadriel's *grandparents* (Finwe and Indis) had gotten together.

Dan- couldn't you recapitulate your story about your son sometime? I remember it from years ago, but I'd be interested to see how things have gone.
Posted by Darth_Mauve (Member # 4709) on :
Orin, I'm working on a book.
If by working I mean, yeah, I've got to dig that stuff up and update it, but I've know this web-site that's willing to sell it for me if I can, so maybe--yeah, I'll start on that sometime before the end of the decade, hopefully.
I work real hard.
