Is there any differences between LOTR books that are relased today and the original ones ? (In text correction/differences wise). Thanks.
Sorry for my engrish :)

But it was a piece of normal printer paper with black sharpie written on it. It looks like they taped it to the monitor then wrote on the paper, because some ink bled through onto the screen. So there was some sharpie marker dots on my screen... SO ANNOYING! I found some hand sanitize and read the ingredients. Turns out it's mostly alcohol, go figure. Dabbed a little on a paper towel and it came right off. Good thing too because it's a stupid all-in-one so I couldn't just replace the monitor.

OP never delivers. Also, this is totally the kind of discussion I expect to see here on Racketboy; delving into excessive detail about the details of something, but never getting to the topic itself. Never change, you crazy Racketeers. :lol:

The very original printing of The Hobbit is different from what you can get now, but that was changed back when Tolkein started writing LotR and wanted to tie it in better. Aside from that I'm not aware of any noticeable changes between editions.

The IOC should build a floating stadium. Any nation that wins the bid gets the stadium towed to a dock of their choosing and all they have to build is a car park/McDonalds drive-thru. Problem solved.

I'm pretty sure they will still demand for a ultra expensive port to be built, together with a replica of the current IOC present ala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_of_Rhodes and perhaps some Dubai style islands in the shape of the Olympic circles

also poor landlocked countries can't host it :(. But I'm sure for the IOC they would be willing to be absorbed by their neighbors who have access to the sea.

But I do like the idea of the IOC forcing you to build a Colossus.
