That is pretty interesting. I think Tolkien did that on purpose to just give Frodo and Sam a break and let the eagles save them, so that way they didn't have to walk all the way back to Gondor, and plus, Tolkien was a professor at Oxford, so he probably knew what he was doing.

Good post by the way. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
