J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien was a man. He was born in South Africa. He wrote The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which was later made into a trilogy of movies which were much better than the books.

J.R.R. Tolkien lived a long, long time ago. If he was still alive today, he would be very, very old.

In fact, because J.R.R. Tolkien is South African, his very existence is questionable and thus he and all that he has created, all the joy and all the agony suffered by watchers of the Lord of the Rings movies like Stephen Colbert and high school students forced to read The Hobbit for their eleventh-grade English class (respectively), may simply be an illusion probably produced by something funny that some unfortunate chap ate - like vegetables, for example.
