Talk:Nimrod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Two other occurences of 'Nimrod'

After my having read several of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien's books handling with Middle-Earth, in which 'Nimrod' is, as far as I can recollect, the first name of Finrod Felagund who in the Silmarillion let build the city of Nargothrond, the word struck me in Monty Python's Flying Circus. It occurs there in 'The All-England-Summarize-Proust-Competition' at the end of the scene with the dying hamster with Terry Jones as mother, John Cleese as first son, Graham Chapman as second son returning from Dublin and several persons playing the fire-brigade. After this scene there is a list of names as before a movie, among them Nimrod.
The later of these two may be irrelevant, the first definitely not more than a comic-crocodile. --88.195.183.202 (talk) 12:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry; while I was typing, I unconciously put the right name Finrod instead of the wrong one, Nimrod, due to which I referred to this person. Of course then already I could have discovered that when I watched the Flying Circus I so eagerly tried to remember where I could have found the word 'Nimrod' before, that subconciously I cut off the last two letters of the girl's name 'Nimrodel' of the poem in The Fellowship of the Ring and tried to find a connection for it. So, only Monty Python here. --88.195.203.178 (talk) 15:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
