Thought I'd bring this post forward again Sharku.

Did anyone happen to notice that it is the Hobbits that seem to have all the innovative, "modern" conveniences. The rest of Middle Earth seems comfortably stuck in their Middle Age groove.

I imagine there was nary a mantel clock in Rivendell, and when it rained in Minas Tirith - well, you got wet.

Verrrryyy clever, these Halflings.
