Deep in the heart of Texas"
(I heard that on PeeWee's Big Adventure)

Gwaihir the Windlord 11-25-2002 11:31 PM

The sunlight hurts their eyes. Although that's probably just because they've been underground for so long. It's a vicious circle.

How old is Elrond?

HerenIstarion 11-27-2002 08:03 AM

he's 24, goin to be 25 soon. To be honest, I know it because he's my clasmate. I visited his last bday party, and we happily got drunk together. Wish I never did it - he's always so gloomy when he's drunk, brr, all this suicidal talk and whatnot. Though he's quite a chap when sober.

--------------------------------------

Aylwen Dreamsong 11-27-2002 08:49 AM

What is Sauron's lucky number??

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 11-27-2002 10:06 AM

One would naturally assume it to be 666, but it isn't. In fact the Dark Lord regards 492761.8302 as the most auspicious of numbers. Some people just have to be different.

--------------------------------------------

How far is it from Rauros to the Morannon as the crow flies?

HerenIstarion 11-27-2002 10:16 AM

Crows of ME are famous drunkards, so they never fly in a straight line. So for the crow there will be twenty four miles of distance to fly. Now the rabbits are known to be teetotallers and lovers of order, so, for them there are only 3 miles to jump along

How was Huan getting rid of parasites?

[ November 27, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

Diamond18 11-27-2002 10:43 AM

Huan simply reasoned with them: he talked them out of even wanting to be on him, by skillfully portraying Orcs to them as much more desirable hosts.

..::If elves hate dwarves so much, why did Elrond invite Gimli to the Council of Elrond?::..

[ November 27, 2002: Message edited by: Nevfeniel ]

Mintyztwin 11-27-2002 06:42 PM

He wanted a scapegoat for everything and anything that went wrong. He figured he'd get away with it, 'cause elves don't trust bearded dwarves. If the dwarves were clean-shaven it would be a different story.

Why did Sam name his children after flowers and some of his friends? (Give a reason for both flowers and his friends)

Aylwen Dreamsong 11-28-2002 12:30 PM

Sam was allergic to flowers, thusly, if he named his children after them he could still be near flowers without sneezing. His friends? They paid him Old Toby to name his children after them....

Because some wizard already gave the brain to a Scarecrow.

Why was Sauron so incredibly evil?

Galadel Vinorel 11-30-2002 12:07 AM

Because he is still angry with the Isitari because he and his orc baseball team lost to the Isitari team in the the Middle Earth Baseball Championship Finals. So, he takes out his anger on the people of Middle Earth. **EEWWHH....Suppressed anger...not good....**

Mintyztwin 11-30-2002 04:45 PM
