You remember that thrilling scene at the beginning of the first
Lord of the Rings, when they light a bunch of flaming pyres across the land and it's really dramatic and cool? A bunch of people in England did
the same thing by lighting torches along the ancient Hadrian's Wall, which used to protect Romans from the barbarous Scots. The
Guardian has video, it's pretty cool.
