Tolkien's noble elven ladies wouldn't have been mucking around on horses being chased by Nazgūl in the first place, especially not Arwen!

Ah yes, sitting at home and cooking lembas is a much nobler way to spend one's life, how could I forget? I think in the book itself, it is quite obvious why Arwen doesn't ride around on her own little adventures: her own mother had been ensnared by the Orcs! In the movie, however, certain aspects of the past are left up to interpretation, so I don't mind the changes in the least.
And by the way, what about Eowyn? Come to think of it, there
is one thing I could never imagine her saying: "Darkness is coming! Let's run and hide!" [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
And, while I'm on the subject of impossibilities...
Gollum: "Well, Precious, since you obviously don't return my affections, I think it's time for me to move on."
Aragorn: "Uh, Arwen? I know what I promised, but I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately, and I think blondes are more to my liking. Plus, when's the last time
you slew a Witchking? But hey, if you're still itching to give up your immortality, I hear Faramir's available!"
Gimli: "Yeah, Galadriel's not that heinous for an Elf."
Frodo: "A giant spider! Just one more for Exotic Insect Bingo!"
