Q: What kind of music was favoured by hobbits?
A: After Saruman's Shire tour, the hobbits decided they liked political Industrial Metal the most. It is amusing how other much advanced races like the Dwarves, didn't like such music. Now that you think about it, the answer is probably that the Dwarves took industry much too seriously. As the hobbits's industry was a joke to begin with, they made the joke go over the top and by that they became enlightened. Q: What was the biggest inn chain in Middle-earth? |

Q: We've all heard of the Doom of Mandos, but what was Mandos's Doom?
"Mandos's Doom" was the first version of the first-person shooter game "Doom". It is completely for MS-DOS. The game became rather popular between, funnily enough, the friends of Albert Mity, the real designer, who was a Tolkien fan himself. Unlike in the latter versions, the goal of the original was to break into the Halls of Mandos and fight your way through the dead Elves and eventually battle Mandos himself.

Just about all of them, after the War of the Ring. Having been thoroughly defeated in battle, the orcs decided that they would have to drastically alter to direction of their race, and achieve greatness through cultural and technological pursuits, rather than through the martial spirit. Ballet, poetry cafes, sculpture, and the art of grilling fine steaks were all characteristics of the post-war orcish culture, ironically rejuvenated and even reborn by crushing defeat. The War of the Ring was the greatest thing ever to happen to the orcs. Orc scholars and politicians have called it "The Great Gift".
Where and when did Gandalf get his hair cut?

When he ALMOST moved out of the way of an orc's sword too late
If most hobbits did not give Frodo as much recognition as they should have, since he kept mostly to himself and avoided fighting during the battle of Bywater, how did he manage to get elected as mayor?

A: Well, you see, Bilbo was running an experiment about how many cloaks Gandalf can wear in warm weather, in a room with a roaring fire in the hearth. Gandalf uncloaking would have messed up all the data!

Because the number of his years is too long for anyone to remember.

Because, unfortunately, the other 99.9% of the Mearas have been gelded.
Why are female Hobbits all named after plants and flowers?

Hobbits don't trim their toenails. When they laze around on their porches smoking pipes, the stems of the pipes are so long that they burn the toenails down to a reasonable length. It's a good system, but occasionally, the hair on their feet catch fire. ![]() Why does Gandalf like to make his smoke-rings change shape and color while they float around the room?

Because, even though Luthien was supposedly the most beautiful elven maiden to walk the world, she decided to kick it up a notch to look even more fabulous. Why did Saruman use the symbol of the White Hand even though he was Saruman of Many Colors?
