Hobbits, dissapearence of:
Previously thought they had just became so good at hiding they had vanished into the background, it has now been shown that the decay of their civilization was due to reasons previously unsuspected.
It seems their cheerfulness and constant hunger was not a hobbit quality per-se, it was caused by the ingestion of "pipe-weed" and "mushrooms" which now are known under the name of "marihuana" and... right, mushrooms as well.
As modern science came to show that drugs are unhealthy for human- (and hobbit-) beings, the High King banned them. Poor hobbits, they had the second worst withdrawal syndrome ever. (After Aragorn, later known as King Eleassar was forced to abandon his life long companion. No, not Queen Arwen, but filth.)
