Well, the Nazgul attacked Frodo at a Ford, John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln at the Ford, and Kennedy was assasinated in a Lincoln...which is owned by Ford. It all fits together so eerily.

And the missing elves from Helm's Deep are the Illuminati...time to add a new chapter to Foucault's Pendulum.

Hmmm...I wonder what would happen if Umberto Eco wrote the script for LotR (or the upcoming Hobbit)? Mind-bending plot twists would abound, I suppose.

I had already tried my hand at James Joyce writing Tolkien fan-fic:

"And we are, are we, swoping priggily the prof's Middangeard, barrowing Mahtan's spark as the espiritu flammula did on a once ago."

I'll have to think about how one would echo Eco talking Tolkien.

I always knew Sauron's 'eye' had something to do with the new world order. Time to dig out that tin foil hat I think

On top of the pyramid on the dollar bill! And in the Freemason symbol! Of course! Later known as the Eye of Horus, and later still as the Eye of Providence, representing the clarity of the divine wisdom as possessed by the Dark Illuminati Elves, whose name is symbolic of the paradoxical truth that only in pure wisdom can pure shadows be cast!

Lotrelf has just left Hobbiton.
What if Gandalf with his help sent them home?

I seriously doubt Gandalf, even though he was "Gandalf the White", could have sent all those elves home. Or spirited away the horses just before a huge battle for that matter.

It's probably just another film inconsistancy

Peter Jackson doesn't make mistakes. Haven't you heard?

The answer, of course, is that the horses were really disguised Eagles who ran into the nearest convenient location and emerged to save the day!

Yes, I understand that. Just forgot to put a smiley. I was thinking of Bill the pony as well.
There's another scene like this too. Frodo and Sam are seen in Orc cloths first but later come in their own hobbit ones. How? Did I miss something? May be.
