Q: Do Hobbits go bald?
A: Of course! Think of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins without a bald on the top of her head!

So making the question again...

A: Hisname, Pippin's neighbour, was pretty much hated by everyone. Mostly because of his enormous euphonium he insisted upon blowing at three in the morning.

Q: Why did Gandalf not just kick the Balrog in the shin and run away?

The Professor was, as we all know, a master of words and meanings and he played a very clever trick on us. As we know, lob is an old word for spider (or something like that) and Lob-elia was female.... a she... SHELOB!!!!

Indeed, when Shelob (aka Lobelia) attacked Frodo and Sam in Cirith Ungol, it was just the latest episode of a long-lasting hatred between the family.

Now, wouldn't you be nasty if you were a huge spider in a hobbit town?

Q: Why did Frodo hang out a lot with Merry and Pippin who were several years younger than him?

Frodo never chose to hang out with them. No matter how much he tries to get rid of them, Merry and Pippin just keep tagging along. Annoying little buggers....

Q: Why did Frodo choose for the Fellowship to go through the Mines of Moria?
