Ole Phat Stu... that's because there's only one telephone in all of Middle Earth, so they worked out a ring sequence to tell who the call is for: "Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, etc."
(Google just demanded... and I do mean demanded... my phone number. Bastards... whatever happened to "don't be evil"? I tried various things like 000-00-0000 and 777-77-7777, all rejected. Finally I gave them a real phone number... that of my late father, who died in 1995. It's a small community; I doubt the number has been reissued.)
ellroon, that was the first time it's happened to me, and once they interjected their phone number form, they absolutely would not proceed to post my comment until I gave them a phone number of a valid shape. Well, I didn't entirely lie... I kept that phone for a while after my father's death, so I'd have it when I went to that place on weekends while executing Dad's will, and I did make and receive a few phone calls on it.
(It's the curly reddish hair that does it. I keep thinking of ST:TNG's Miles O'Brien [Colm Meaney].)

All those hobbits look Irish to me.

Google demanded? Wtf? Haven't yet been commanded to hand over a phone number.... but why? I don't need to talk to anybody at Google....
Irish? ...well... hobbits do love beer and a good song...

Omg, Steve! You are right.
ellroon, I remembered him as more redheaded than he looks in that photo, but the face certainly looks like the hobbits' faces.
