How many people touched the One Ring ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I thought Gandalf never did actually touch the ring, he used tongs, didn't he? (Or is Peter Jackson playing tricks with my mind?)
Also, it would be physically possible to change the chain on the ring without touching the ring. You could thread the chain through, use a big needle-type object.
(Try this one at home, kids!)
I think everyone with any sense tried to avoid touching the ring, didn't they?

Ahh... it's been a while since I read the Fellowship. I know Gandalf used tongs to remove the ring from Frodo's fireplace, but did he use them to toss it in?
