They all caught the sniffles when they crossed the northern expanse of ice and cold on their journey back to middle earth and som eyears later, all their colds turned into pneumonia. Medicine being less advanced then, there was nothing the healers could do.

Fatty Lumkpin and Fatty Bolger are actually the same person. Fatty's parents always embarassed him by calling him Lumpkin, so he decided one day to dress up. Unfortunately, he didn't fit in his disguise.... and people called him Bolger.

It was a one-of-a-kind special 24 k gold ring forged by the best jeweller in the Elven Realms that had the ability to turn every outfit into a lovely ensemble. Gollum, who had always been teased and picked on as a child, loved the ring because it gave him the appearance of a chic fashionable hobbit.
--- Why did Boromir want the ring so badly?

He wasn't satisfied to be only the beloved elder son and also wanted to be chic and fashionable. Fortunately, Frodo saw something he didn't, that is, that it would clash terribly with his outfit, and prevented him from taking it. He was rather disappointed about that at first, but he got over it. Eventually.
--------------------------------- To continue the mini-theme going, why did Sauron want the ring?

Sauron was never a really secure guy... when he had the ring he noticed that people were nice to him, like they actually waged war against him and took him seriously as an evil dude and all. Sauron never thought this was because he was actually a very sucessful villian; the others had ignored him at first because he did not believe in himself, and so they didn't believe in him. But then Sauron got the ring and is all, "oh yeah, I'm go- I mean, I'm bad," so gondor and surrounding area take him seriously. Then he loses the ring, and of course he's a whimpering pile of blubber without it, so he's all, 'but mummy, I wanna wage war NOW, and NOT have to wait two ages...' but Isildur took it, trying to get started on his own bad boy career, but we all know how THAT turned out, now don't we...

When Isildur lost all his money when he went bankrupt he pawned off the Ring. A little guy named Gollum got it at a bargain price since gold was so not in fashion that age.

He wore the ring around his big toe. He hated his toes and was all "I'm so depressed. My feet are ugly. Especially that huge, ugly big toe." So he wanted to make it beautiful and he put it on his big toe.
Why did Aragorn have so many names?

Aragorn had so many names because he ALWAYS forgot them! So, when he first came to RIvendell, Elrond asked what his name was. He didn't know what it was, so ELrond just gave him a name "Elesser" which sounds like a girl's name because Elrond didn't know any good names for an idiot who forgot their name. Anyways, Butterbur and the inhabitents of Bree also asked for his name, and by then he had forgotten already, so they anme dhim Strider. Got it? And Glorfindel totally was confused at Aragorn, so Glrofindel called him Dunedain in Elvish, but to him it really meant done man of the west. Got it? Good.
Why did Smeagol want the Ring so badly?

When Aragorn was born, they couldn't decide which relative to name him after. This part of the family wanted this name, and the other wanted that--so, his parents made out different birth certificates with the names that pleased each relative, and told them, "His name is....." When he grew up, Aragorn got sick of all the names and started just calling himself "Strider", since he had become a ranger and walked around alot. He introduced himself to people as "Strider" so no one would get confused.

Hamfest Gamgee was a foot masseur. The only one in the Shire, in fact. He made lots of money because Hobbits don't wear shoes, and that makes their feet very sore. Bilbo was his best customer because he was one of the only Hobbits who could afford the outrageous fees more than twice a month. He also experimented with hair styling, but that didn't go over so well. He always experimented on Sam, who's head started to resemble a beehive before Hamfest decided to move on to pedicures and manicures.

Deagol responded to the ring with a girly scream, slightly gayish. He just thought it was so beautiful.....and Smeagol wanted the ring and he was all up in his face u know what i'm sayin??? ok sorry...but they started a hissy fit with each other and Deagol ended up dying for being so stubborn, which sounds a lot like my sister....I think I need to call Smeagol on her [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Why do the elves always look so fanciful and so pretty, and they guys just look so hot. And why do they always just look ever so young???

Gollum grew up in total isolation. He never even looked in a mirror. When he found the ring, he instantly fell in love with the reflection of his face (not realizing it was his own). One day he was walking by the lake, and he saw the whole reflection of himself. Thinking it was drowning, he dove after it, but couldn't save it. Realizing that had lost his true love (his reflection), he stole away into a dark cave. He kept the ring because it reminded him of his reflection, and his true love, and forever after called it "My Preciouss".

Hobbits are like humming birds and have such a high metabolism and are so active, they must eat 6 times thier own body weight in food everyday just to stay alive. It's one of the mysteries of creation!

Go to Figwit Lives!, it explains it all, I hope! I found it so amusing, I had to have Figwit as my picture (yep, that's Figwit!)
The ring was created by aliens as their first attempt at making intelligent life. Unfortunately, it tried to take over their planet and after many long battles, they managed to capture it, though half their population was wiped out as a result. The craftsman who had made the ring had forgotten to add the self-destruct button, so the aliens had no way of destroying the ring and instead threw it into space. After many long adventures, the ring hurtled to Middle Earth and was picked up by Sauron, who was a keen astronomer and wanted to study it. What was the ring made of?

Gimli was very short on cash, and when he saw the ad in a newspaper for a loyal companion, he jumped at the opportunity for some money. When he found out more about the job (that he had to go on a quest with eight others and only so much food), he was a bit reluctant, but took the job in the end.

Galadriel is a pizza girl. She delivers pizza to Denethor every so often. He liked her and kept ordering pizza but when he found out that she was 1/134 part glosapotataurus, and that she was married, he burned himself. Alive.
(I'll do this for Figwit) What is the relationship between Legolas and Figwit. How do they know each other?

Well, she fell in love with Snagar-kutha, the orc. But he died and she was so sad, and a little crazy, and she thought that Snagar was reincarnated to be Aragorn. She sees her orc love in Aragorn. So she doesn't even love him, and he feels pretty much the same way cuz he's in love with me.....ok, but seriously he's only marrying her so that he can feel special. Since he's gonna be king, he wants to build himself up more by marrying an elf.

The Pilsbury Doughboy proved his loyalty by being one of the best captains. He fought hard, but his companions almost starved so they ate him.
