# WARNING CONTAINS SPOILER
Smeagol was his name when he was a hobbit, but after hundreds of years with his cough, *gollum gollum* he got the name Gollum.

# well if you haven't read it
(or not in a long time) it is a spoiler. sure i'm not giving away the ending, but it's meant to be somewhat of a shocking moment. incidentally, the book does a better job of making it shocking than the movie.
i'm not just a pop culture addict, like the people who think britney spears wrote cant get no satisfaction.

# I thought it was a given

Isn't it one of the very very first things in teh book and the movie?
