Overheard on the interwebs: the Tolkien Estate actually forbade (or tried to forbid) scientists from calling Homo floresiensis "Hobbits".
So heeeeere we go, chat!
Hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits..hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...hobbits...
But wait a sec. Åke Ohlmark´s Swedish translation of "Lord of the Rings" was unauthorized, so I suppose Swedish scientists could call Homo floresiensis "hober"? Sue my ass, dude!
