If J.R.R. Tolkien were still alive today, and you had the chance to ask him one question about The Lord of the Rings, or anything else, for that matter, what would you ask him?

Do Balrogs have wings?

I'd ask him to sign me a huge pile of his books.

I'd ask what Elladan and Elrohir decided when the time for their deferred decision finally came ..and why were they allowed to defer that decision...and hopefully that would get the Prof sufficiently in to his stride for me to find out the million and one other questions I have

I'd ask him if Frodo died in the Undying Lands and if Sam got to see him again over there.

Can I post again with the One Question of my siblings?

Probably the first question I ever asked on a Tolkien message board......"Who is older, Treebeard or Tom Bombadil?" never got a good answer....
