15 Trivia Tidbits About The Michelin Man, Tolkien, And The Price Is Right

JRR Tolkien: Mr. Steal-your-girl.

I am a very serious man who has devoted my life to learning and understanding. My work has always been dedicated to the pursuit of truth and knowledge; it has taken me across the globe on countless adventures and I have seen things that many people can only read about in books.

In fact, one could even say that this journal is the sum of my knowledge—a single volume to record everything I've learned during my travels through time and space. And yet, despite what one might expect from my words, there is no such thing as absolute truth or knowledge. In the end, we must each come to our own conclusions, for no man knows anything with complete certainty. The universe contains too many mysteries and secrets, far too much strangeness, not to mention a great many things that remain completely incomprehensible to the human mind.
