Another crazy thought to throw around here:
Could it be possible that being in the presence of his maker would have made Gimli immortal? After all, Aule had never gotten a good chance to teach his skills to his children, the dwarves. He'd love to have a good student around. Although the Gift of Men cannot be taken away, nothing is said about rules regarding the Doom of Dwarves. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
