There are a ton of crazy fan theories. My favorite one is that Jaime/Cersei are actually Aerys' children and Tyrion is Tywin's only child.

It certainly would play into the theme that Targaryens are either insane or brilliant. I daresay Cersei is batshit crazy while Jaime is quite a brilliant and charming cripple.

Still, there's no foundation for any of these theories and I do wonder sometimes if George RR gets lost in his writing sometimes and pops onto fan forums to pick a crazy theory he likes and runs with it.

There's something to the Tyrion one, though I can't remember the specifics off the top of my head. Tywin had his big falling out with Aerys around the time Tyrion would have been concieved is all I can recall.

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

[spoiler]
In Dance with Dragons, BarristerBoy the Bold alludes to some kind of cheekiness on the part of Aerys towards Tywin's wife during their wedding celebration. I wonder if there's something to that.

There is also when Tywin took his ball and went home. I think that was because Aerys refused to let Cersei marry Rhaegar.

I think Tyrion is much more likely to be a Targ than the twins are. He is brilliant and slightly mad. Neither of the twins is either.

Plus there is something Tywin says on the crapper...

Tywin Lannisters listing in Forbes' Richest 15 Fictional Characters

That list is worthless without Scrooge Mcduck



Sadly, the list does in fact contain Scrooge McDuck reference.

-_-

http://www.forbes.com/special-report/2012/fictional-15-12/flintheart-glomgold.html

This is one of the silliest things I've ever seen by the way.

Indeed it does but it doesn't include Scrooge himself.

Well it a list of the wealthiest fictional characters. Of course it's silly.

Oh PLEASE! If that is true, he would have had Tyrion killed off years ago. Tyrion is in no way, shape or form slightly mad. He is probably one of the most sane people in the series.

Tyrion had to be somewhat mad at his father to have shot him in the groin with a crossbow.[/spoiler]

Just finished the latest book. Sigh. The "character gets killed only he doesn't" thing got old around the 20th time. FFS Martin.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

If only he would try to get it treated.  Or at least stop trying to spread it around.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
