I just caught this headline via a daily online publication devoted to the oil and gas industry:

Statoil, Hydro Consider $1.56 Billion Troll Expansion

I'm wondering if Frodo and company have caught wind of this disturbing development?

LOL, one Norwegian to bring them all, and in darkness, bind them ... or at least lubricate them ...

My favorite is Troll ุst, since you get to use that neat "ุ" symbol ...

I must be the dumbest person in the world. What was it supposed to say and what's wrong with expanding trolls anyway?

Gene, don't feel badly if our silly Monty Pythonesque attempts at humor don't resonate well. The headline was perfectly correct if you understand the context. In this case, Troll is a large Norwegian offshore oil and gas field.
