People Have Way Too Much Time On Their Hands

Found this very intriguing and far more difficult than I imagined ?

Antidepressants or Tolkien's character?

I suppose you have to be either a hardcore Tolkien fan or a doctor to get all answers right.

Never taken an antidepressant and never read Tolkien, so I got a miserable 14 out of 24, but it was fun. My wife and I are are always joking about the pharmaceutical ads on TV and how they must put random syllables in a hat and pull them out to name new drugs. We make some up. Anything works. Gooseatroll. We also like the disclaimers on side effects which usually end with death. Right.

Tolkien was very much into phonetics, trying to make the sounds of a name express the character of the bearer of the name.
It seems to me the inventors of the names of the drugs are into making said drugs sound benign or right out delicious. Like candy.
I consider them not an ounce nicer than gangsters selling drugs on the street.

Except for the ones I got wrong, I got them all right.

That was great. Thanks for posting it.

Had to use obscure foreign brand names and obscure characters on a few of them, but it’s fun nonetheless.

You can cheat using the Encyclopedia of Arda, lol. (I didn't, obviously ? .)

Hilarious. 14 out of 24. Grad school was a long time ago, hahaha.

 

[stokesdale]

You're just now figuring that out? Look at all the people on this forum for god's sake...don't we have anything better to do? Get off your butt, go out, and do something for crying out loud!

I only got 14. Now I’m depressed.
