A group of "passionate", UK-based Tolkien fans have set up an IndieGoGo campaign designed to raise the funds to build a real life Minas Tirith somewhere in southern England. The goal? A mere £1,850,000,000. At the time of this write-up they have generated over £81,000 with 42 days left. But, to shine a little light on that number, the campaign will need to raise £18.5 Million, before the funded ticker even moves to 1%.
It's a noble goal, I think. But, I think, maybe a bit unobtainable. Sorry to be a hater. The nerd in me would love to see it happen. The jaded, realist in me shakes his head and reads more #fieldworkfails
If you decide to jump in though, don't worry. The project is "fixed funding", meaning you won't be charged anything unless the project meets/exceeds its goal.

For the record...
Please consider this a filler comic. I was at work way WAY later than I expected, and passed out shortly after getting him from a 14+ hour day. It's a reason, but no excuse. I'll do my best to make it up to you.
