Who/What was Tom Bombadil

lol, i cant believe my post kept this alive. although i think that my theory is better than all the rest, because it gives an answer to the most agrivating question in the book. who Tom really is? no one knows, accept for a stupid doll that his kids played with. Christofer Tolkien, i have one up on u now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] anyway, this post should be continue for forever, because its proven to be a haven for answers to a great question. "who or wat is Tom Bombadil?"
