Interesting Usages of Wikipedia Example: One

While watching lord of the rings the return of the king and thinking a little bit about harry potter I began to wonder why there are only two wizards in the lord of the rings. Are they the only two wizards in the history of middle earth? where the fuck do they come from? are they gods? so i googled something like "how many wizards are there in middle earth" and I went to the wikipedia page concerning wizards. That led me to the wikipedia page about Radagast who supposedly played a part in the books but who I dont remember at all. Radagast The Brown:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radagast_(Middle-earth)

Turns out his wizarding powers allowed him to communicate with animals and so he had an affinity with wild beasts and various fauna. He fucking loved chilling with animals so he lived near the mirkwood forest and experimented with herbs. He was also used by saruman to get the birds to be spies for him when he didnt know what was going on, and he was also responsible for saving gandalf from that tower with the eagle. But when it came time for everyone to man up and battle for it all he couldn't be found. his love of the wild had driven him out of contact and he took up the life of some kind of dark arts shaman committed to being one with his inner creature. Everyone was dyeing in front of the black gates fighting for everything and he was out bounding around like a goddamn deer. and he had crazy magic powers, the kind of powers that take at least 10,000 guys to the grave with you, seeing as how your an immortal demigod. He basically went on a shroom trip the weekend the fate of the world was decided even though he was a fucking sorcerer. Wikipedia goes on to say, however, that this "failure" would not bar him from returning to the Undying Lands.


You didn't know but thanks to wikipedia you now do.
