2+2=4
... Sam can gather 5 pounds of bilberries in an hour, whilst Rosie can gather 4 pounds. But if they go to the forest to gather bilberries together, it does not necessarily follow that they will gather 9 pounds in an hour’s time...

How many Nazgul does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Nine, one to screw it in and the rest to hunt down and destroy all lightbulbs... How many orcs does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Not known, they started fighting about who would screw it in... How many wizards does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, their staffs work just fine... Ten Nazgul commandments: Thou shalt not put "Roar if you think I'm Sexy' stickers on fell beasts... Thou shalt not roar if thou seest a 'Roar if you think I'm sexy sticker'... Thou shalt not call thy fell beast a 'ride' nor use the phrase 'If the fell beast be a rockin' don't come a knockin'' Thou shalt not laugh at orcs... Thou shalt not push orcs into a river 'just for fun'... Thou shalt not hit orcs 'to see what noise it makes' Thou shalt not listen to 'Back in Black' before a battle... Thou shalt not sell thy fell beast for a car because 'it's so much more pimp'... Thou shalt not refer to orc seige towers as 'pimp wagons'... Thou shalt not refer to Sauron as 'the big black pimp' |

The lightbulb ... well I had a theory in another forum that the menfolk of the Noldor would be the Elvish equivalent of husbands who spend their entire lives tinkering with inventions and gadgets in their shed. Now given that Feanor was the most gifted in craft of the Noldor AND had more childen than any other elf either, it seems probable that he was "shed-husband" par excellance, and liable to go completely over the top when Nerdanel wanted any little tasks done around the house - and produced the silmarils when what she really wanted was basically a light bulb;
Feanor "But look I have created the most marvellous gems in the world, made of unbreakable material, filled with the lights of the two trees.....blah, blah" Nerdanel " I only said that would be good to have a lamp that wouln't set the house on fire if the kids knocked it over...... and they have all grown up while I hve waited for you to make those...." I reckon the Palantiri were the result of him getting carried away when basically she just wanted a baby monitor.... :P

Scene: In Minas Tirith, Denethor has decided to finally take the war into his own hands....
Denethor: (typing madly on his laptop) I know! I'll hack into Sauron's database and find out exactly what he's got! Gandalf: Denethor, he's got firewalls all around his- D: Shut up Gandalf, I know what I'm doing! G: No, Denethor, don't- D: Crap! He's got me! This shouldn't have.... Faramir! What did you do to the computer?! Faramir: (comes running in) I didn't touch the computer! D: Shut up and help me! F: Dad, if you'd only give me something other than that old Tandy, maybe I could- D: If Boromir was here, he could have stopped this! Go use the MAC! F: NOOOOOOO! Cut to a shot of the Eye of Sauron... look closely. You think it's a pupil, but it's really..... the Apple symbol!
