I loved this article and I think you just did it: you convinced me that I am going to study history and English after I am done with school
Ahm and that fellow historian you mentioned in response to a comment: did he figure out that based on the name? If so, I am impressed and maybe I am going to learn OE, too.
And in response to your Aragorn age question: there is no reference to his age on both the normal and extended DvD. Hope that helps...:)
