Not being a "how many?" question, this enquiery was disqualified.

How many generations will pass before a (future) Downer finds the book HOME76: "Wings or no Wings?

Bom Tombadillo · 07-08-2011, 10:18 PM

500, around which time the earth will be destroyed and one of the refugees, whose great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great . . . ah, you get the idea, was a Downer, will find the relevant material floating through space, miraculously unharmed. Of course, by then even Tolkien will have faded into obscurity, meaning that the refugee will huck the book back into space, where it will eventually hit the leader of the species of alien whose planet the remnants of humanity are heading towards. Upon the arrival of humans to this planet and the aliens' realization that the humans are the species who wrote the book, a massive interspecies war will begin, in which both sides will be utterly wiped out, preventing anyone from ever deciding the question of whether the wings were, in fact, made of pink cardboard as some state, or of dwarf beards.

How many years will pass before cats telepathically absorb knowledge of language from sleeping on the works of Tolkien and use this knowledge to communicate among themselves, eventually staging the Great Cat Revolution, which will establish a government whose leaders are chosen by knowledge of Middle-Earth?

Cats will take after the example of Telvido. Their leaders will therefore be called Morcath, Cauron, Cathmog, and the likes of that. As for how many years it will take them to figure everything out... After some cat sleeps on inspiration on the correct BoLT!

2 - they were drunk at the time having consumed copious quantities of malt beer at Balin's birthday party. A fact their relatives were quick to deny.

Zero, you see there was a slight mistake. The person Aragorn believed to be Legolas was actually.......Galadriel in disguise.

Legolas got left behind in Lothlorien....

None. He never made the Silmarils. Those were stolen by him from Morgoth's secret treasury. Why else do you think Morgoth took it so hard?

How many pimples does Lotho Pimpe have?
