don't you wish you'd had an extra $120,000.01 a week or two ago?

haha - you saw that i switched it :)

and yes, $120,000.01 would've been nice.
in this person's defense, the first edition of the hobbit has a different gollum chapter.

what? he did!
and if you read the foreward to lotr, he explains that what happened is that when bilbo came back from his adventure, he told a lie to everyone as to how he acquired the ring. but then the truth came out (he had been devious because of the power of the ring), and subsequent copies of the hobbit told the true story.
