Palantiri Lawn Ornament

So, I'm cooking supper this evening and as I looked out the window, I noticed the neighbors chrome-surface mirror ball in the back yard (You know what I'm talking about, right?).

Yes, Sauron could have won the war without the Ring, but he lusted after it in a way that makes Gollum look like a piker. The Ring contained so much of Sauron, that he was incomplete without it....
