Re: the watcher in the water

You do know (don't you?) that the Watcher was just a colony of busy little beavers. You ever wonder who damned the Sirannon? Beavers. But the shadow of Moria was no simple neighborhood for simple rodents, so this colony raided the costume stores at Dr. Who and gathered as many giant monster tentacles as they could carry. This ruse proved sucessful in warding of successive incursions of dwarves, orcs, etc. Unfortunately, one day they lost their dam keys and had to relocate. Their damming efforts on the Baranduin were so sucessful that they flooded practically the whole Shire (late in the fourth age) eradicating hobbits from Middle Earth and making it the sole domain of men. That part of ME is now known as the Lake Country and modern Carlisle arose on the foundations of old King's Norbury. This is documented in HOME, v. 23, the chapter where the Prof. muses on the evolution of small furry mammals (lesser apes&gt;hobbits&gt;beavers&gt;badgers&gt;men).
