What Lo did was to look at the overall ranking of Singapore vis-a-vis other natio...

As a vegetarian restaurant. This action baffled the regulars of Teh-O Si. For it may potentially limit the kind of cuisine Teh-O Si. Unfortuna...

The total number of words in LoTR is approximately 561,792 (Source: http:/ wiki.answers.com/Q/How many words are in The Lord of the Rings). That translates to about 562 pictures (561792/1000).
