...the norweigan nutcase, murderer, nazi, black metal character of the name Varg Vikernes (aka Burzum) is convinced that the story played out in the LOTR books actually has happened. He also claims that we all were there, most of us just don't remember it. This all would have taken place on a different planet in a paralell universe of some sorts. He says that only some people can remember it...like him and Tolkien...

Varg Vikernes is famous not only for his music but also for killing a band member of another black metal band, burning churches and other more or less pleasant things. He is currently locked up and (with the occasional escape attempt arranged by his mother) I am guessing this is what he spends his time doing...figuring out the "mystery" of LOTR.. Well, good to see he's not wasting his time doing nothing, don't you think?!

And...as usual..I bring you some other more or less useless facts!
