I heard that J.R.R. Tolkien once mentioned that his main source of inspiration for The Lord of the Rings came from plot ideas given to him by Mittelstadt through a visit from the future.

I've been there for business trips.  After a week or so I can fake German enough to order food.  It's the only other language that "makes sense" to this English speaker.

Read "Bavaria" as Batavia and was like, "yeah - midway between Buffalo and Roch."

 

See?  So it makes sense!  :w00t:

And then realized it was an outdated Web authoring framework? :) (if you've ever seen web sites with .cfm links...)

It's the scene from The Princess Bride where Fezzik pretends he's the Dread Pirate Roberts.

I was way off then. I haven't seen that movie in probably 20 years. I just remember it had Andre the Giant, Kevin Arnold from the Wonder Years, and that one guy who kept saying My name is Antonio [insert Italian last name], you killed my father, prepare to die.

Inigo Montoya (played by Mandy Patinkin) and Spanish but you got the rest of it right.

 

Fezzik was Andre the Giant's character.

Mittelstadt has just discovered who was behind Jack Ruby's assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, but his discovery is classified.

 

Rumor is, though, that it's a former Bosnian living somewhere in Nova Scotia.

The only tool he used through the entirety of his discovery process was a magic 8-ball.
