...Tolkien's poem "The Hoard" a.k.a "Frodo's Dreme"...
Actually I believe "Frodos Dreme" (no apostrophe) is the alternative title of "The Sea-Bell". I'll check my copy of The Adventures of Tom Bombadil to confirm. Lee M 01:52, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
Thanks, Glaurung for the explanation on contacting you.
When I clicked on your provided link Usertalk:Glaurung, it took me to a big usertalk item, having no obvious way to single you out, but when I clicked on YOUR PROVIDED Glauring link it eventually got me here. The usertalk page called me a "Newcomer," though I was logged in.
When I look at changes to "Tesla coil" and see a link for Glaurung, and click on IT, I arrive at a page that says "beware of the Glaurung" and no more. I don't remember if I tried to edit that but I would not want to edit your home page, so to speak. Anyway, I am more afraid of someone's cloning (extinct) Giant Ground Sloths than of Glaurungen, as I would never touch even a crumb of the jewels and other plunder in that cave.
The reason I got into Tesla and Kirlian photography is that a friend (his wife was a classmate of my wife's) is a doctor who does, among more usual things perhaps, acupuncture, and wanted me to help him build a "Kirlian camera". I have known a bit (but not much) about Tesla coils since about 1948, when I tried to make one, and about Kirlian photography since the 1970's. I am a supporter (financially only in the tiniest dribbles, but morally anyway) of the James Randi Institute, so you can envision where I stand on "practical" uses of Kirlian photography. Of course, Tesla coils are used for testing vacuum systems and ceramic coatings of metal parts, and so on, I gather.
I have been stalling off this doctor but with the Wikipedia warnings I may contact him; yet, with this kind of chap it's sort of like the case of that mental hospital patient who, after years and years of therapy, was cured of believing he was Napoleon. He said, joyfully, to the doctors, "Oh, I am so glad finally to be disabused of this crazy delusion; thank you, doctors. Just wait till I go tell the good news to Josephine"

[edit] Glaurung "created" by Morgoth
I'm going to make a minor edit here. Since a major theme of Tolkien's work is the sterility of evil and its inability to create anything new (indeed, only God/Eru can truly create), it's better to say that Glaurung was BRED. Manticore 18:07, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Glarung"?
There appears to be an article with the misspelled title of Glarung about this same dragon. Since it is sketchy and, in relation to this well-written article, redundant, it might be a candidate for deletion. Cvj2000 19:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
