chinook
A rotary winged aircraft (helicopter) produced by Boeing/Vertol, it is very distinctive, having two counter rotating rotors rather than the main rotor/tail rotor setup of most helicopters. A powerful heavy-lifter, the first version introduced during 'nam could carry about six tons, the latest versions (e, f) can carry over twelve. The aircraft is designated CH-47. (CH stands for Cargo Helicopter)
The sound of a chinook is very distinctive, like some enormous jackhammer, a penetrating basso thunder that can be heard miles away, and makes the earth shake when the aircraft passes close by.

Arabic - "the"
If u were wonderin, that's why so many Arab names of objects and organizations start with Al-this, Al-that. Like how many things of ours are called "The (whatever)"

Lambeg drum
An (in)famous drum played by Orangemen (of the Orange Order) in Northern Ireland.
It is massive, about 3 feet in diameter, and its two drumheads are made of goat skin.
When fully tightened, a lambeg is utterly deafening, with a noise output of 115 - 120 decibels. When nearby you don't just hear it.. you *feel* the subsonics all through your chest and gut. It can be heard 5-6 miles away.
The drum is played with two bamboo canes about 2 feet long each. It is carried like a bass drum. (But much bigger than a bass drum... makes the dude playing it look like an ant balancing a crumb.)
Commonly used as tools of intimidation, with drummers working shifts to keep the almost tribal-sounding drumming going through the night, in clear earshot of the "other side" (Catholics).

What Smeagol calls the One Ring of Power. He thinks it belongs to him. In fact everyone who ever aquires it becomes madly posessive of it (because it is magic and affects their mind). It really belongs to Sauron tho.
