More LoTR research

My husband has taken a keen interest in my nerd hobbies article (which, by the way, has changed fairly significantly since I posted it last week). I've never seen him so excited about anything I've undertaken before. We, of course, had to watch the movies, he put me in touch with friends of his who shared his same nerdy interests, and then today, he sent me the following website.
Yes, my friends, that's an entire website dedicated to statistics from The Lord of the Rings. And it turns out, Tolkien sorta hated women. Only 19% of the population of Middle Earth was women. Look at how femininity is nearly non-existent among the Dwarf population.

The website is called LOTRProject.com. Putting aside my amazement that someone has the time to compile this information, design a website for it, and maintain it, the site is actually very well-done, the statistics section being the most well designed, in my opinion. On the site, a visitor can check out the timeline, view the family trees, and, of course, learn the statistics that make LoTR what it is.
