A - On the contrary! She hates it! But, due to racial stereotyping everyone assumes she does. When she chased Frodo she merely wanted to give him a potato. But did Frodo believe her? NO! He made an assumption based only on appearances! She accidentally knocked him out and, to stop him from hurting himself, she wrapped him in a nice warm blanket of her own making. She thought Sam was after her new guest!

A: Yes. That's why it took him so long to remember he was the king of Gondor.

He would have, but on his way to Sauron's little home he stopped by Mt. Doom and accidentally tossed that little ring of his on to the fires. Needless to say that Sauron wasn't impressed, he was so dissapointed he left Middle Earth for good.

Q - How long did it take to build Barad-Dur?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 10-09-2006, 04:25 AM

A: Three days. It was constructed in prefabricated sections built by Messrs Bodgit and Leggit, engineers to the evil and mysterious. Aside from selecting the appallingly constructed Five Minute Fortress (since withdrawn from sale on safety grounds), Sauron's mistake was to entrust the final assembly to those Orcs deemed unfit for other duties. Since 'other duties' meant anything from raiding into Eriador to sewing buttons onto the Mouth of Sauron's third-best tunic, the modules were assembled in the wrong order and not properly secured. What caused the collapse described in The Return of the King was not the destruction of the One Ring, but an ill-advised scouring of the guttering. This removed centuries of moss and weeds that had been doing rather an effective job of holding the entire structure together.

Q: Who was the tallest ever hobbit until SR 1419 and the inventor of golf?

Rikae · 10-09-2006, 05:42 PM

Q: Who was the tallest ever hobbit until SR 1419 and the inventor of golf?
Well, that would clearly have to be Deagol, of the River Folk;
who was approximately four foot three. He did, however, have delicate little hands, which may explain his inability to strangle his shorter, but larger-handed cousin.

Q: can hobits die ???

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-10-2006, 01:33 PM

A - This is a common misconception. There was, in the early third age, a competition held by the Bree landers to see which race could make the most colourful clothing. The Hobbits lost and so the term flew around Middle Earth, "Hobbits cannot dye".
This has been mistranslated some times as Hobbits cannot Die. Which they can.
