how scary would it be to arrive at the exam, and the inquisitioner is dressed as Gandalf.
Right after he hands out the exam he slams his staff to the floor and screams

I'm looking forward to the midnight showing of LOTR - ROTK tomorrow night.
The movie is 3 hours, 42 minutes - hope the previews are short.
Hope there aren't any emergencies on Wednesday morning as I doubt that I'll be in before noon.
