It was a day

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Assuming that MPD stands for Multiple-Personality-Disorder, then I believe that middle-earth has a bona fide case of it: Smeagol/Gollum/Stinker/Slinker/Precious.

Of course, that was brought on by the Ring, so who knows if anyone else has it...

Well if HerenIstarion is to bestow a ring, let us hope it is from a reputable dealer and not some second-hand cast off found at the bottom of a swamp!

Wedding bands have at times been known to do strange things but I do not think disappearing completely or MPD should be considered a common occurrence.

( I have this idea that the Silmarils and Palantiri were the over designed result of Nerdanel asking Feanor to make her a night light and baby-monitor for the nursery...)

Oh my! You almost had me tip out of my chair with that one. Hats off Mithalwen!
