Warm in English does not have the same meaning as in Afrikaans. In Afrikaans "warm" means hot. Warm in Afrikaans would more accurately mean "luke warm" (sp?) or "lou warm".

Technically it's not, but you have a point, and Monty nailed it. Bottom line is "My pen is in my hand" is not the only sentence...

J.R.R. Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, S.A., on 3 January 1892. His memories of Africa were slight but vivid, including a scary encounter with a large hairy spider, and influenced his later writing to some extent.
