Freaking crazy or divine providence?

In the middle of studying for finals, or cramming if you prefer, I come across The Lord of the Rings on tv. This is my all-time favorite thing to study to. Later on, after moving to the library to do my diligent student duty, I read "Start with the final state--having all hobbits and all orcs on the far bank." I had to read it three times to convince myself that my Cognitive Psychology textbook was talking about hobbits and orcs.* It was like a meeting of the nerds, in the dark of the night. Or a small sign that it's time I re-read the series.

*This was in reference to a problem solving scenario, hobbits on one side, orcs on the other.
