That is alot of 'ones' Elladan and Elrohir!<BR>You could even say,"Indeed, how does one lose one's bodily form after the removal of one's One Ring?" <P>The removal of the ring kindof fits in with the whole simplified version that Peter Jackson made up (although what use does a floating eyeball have with a ring, I do not know) but Sauron in the books had already lost much of his strength after wrestling with Elendil and Gil-galad. Isildur cutting Sauron's ring when he was already casted down merely robbed Sauron his strength of maintaining a physical body for some time(remember he put much of his native Maia strength into its making, as did Melkor with his creations such as the Dragons.)
