<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Yes, I think Tolkein was either mad or brilliant. Isn't it remarkable how often those two traits coincide? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Too true. A fameous quote from a fameous phylosopher(sp?) states that there is a very thin line between geneus and insanety, since geneuses always lack on a certain point. Most of the time it is social skills. Which can not be said of the professor with all due respect to his friends.<P>About the knife. Let's continue being silly for a second. The witchking was made by the design of Sauron and a "smaller version" of Sauron like Frodo would have been to the witchkings. Couldn't it be that the knife dissapeared for the same reason that the ring lost his markings when taken from Sauron's hand? The ring missed the heat of Sauron's hand, then didn't the knife miss the evil from witchy's hand? Since witchy is a lower version of Sauron?<P>Another thing, Sauron-> witchy wraith-> Frodo wraith. Could Frodo, if he changed, make little wraiths of his own bent to his will? That could make a nice pickorder. <P>~Potatothan<P>P.S. Philosophing this way is fun isn't it?
