Yes indeed, I thought of all the dismemberment in Njal's Saga and the like when I mentioned it. Ooh, and now that you've implied it (sorry if I'm hogging the thread a bit):
EPIC KILLS

1. Bard
2. Morgoth
3. Dįin
4. Tśrin
5. Merry and Éowyn
6. Gandalf
7. Gollum
8. Helm Hammerhand
9. Gurthang
10. Bandobras Took (I think we all know the story and the game-invention)

I would also like to register my support for Gurthang as having performed an 'epic kill'.
