Re: Balrogs

And I used to hold all of you in such high regards. But now I know the truth, you are all just like me, muahahahahahahahah. Perhaps Gandalf just couldn't remember how to fly, unlike riding a bike maybe you need to keep flying to stay with it. And now I think that the balrogs could fly but could not carry more weight than their own bodies. Simple weight ratios, a 5 oz. swallow cannot carry a 1 pound coconut. Not even two swallows carring it on a line of creeper, under theri dorsal guiding feathers.
