Q What is the Gap of Rohan

A The flagship store in Middle Earth of the well known chain. The extensive range of desirable stock was the true reason that Gandalf was reluctant to pass through on the journey south. He knew that they would never get Legolas out of the place. It is also the reason for the Lorian elves somewhat circuitous route home after the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen. Galadriel wanted a new wardrobe for her forthcoming cruise.

You haven't really understood this have you?Most of those answers are spot on....

Meela · 11-23-2005, 01:45 PM

Q: Who was Denethor?

A: Not who, but what. Denethor is Minas Tirith's most efficient and inexpensive form of lighter fuel, particularly noted for its use in beacons. The popular myth that Denethor is indeed named after a person arose on the night that Faramir almost burnt to death in a freak accident on the night of the annual ceremonial Gondorian Barbeque Contest, when in a desperate bid to win, he emptied an entire container of Denethor onto his barbeque, resulting in the destruction of much of the surrounding city.

Q: Was there really a battle at Minas Tirith?

A: No. The damage was all caused by Faramir's barbeque. The rumoured presence of several thousand orcs has been dispelled since it was confirmed that these were in fact Gondorian children, who had been rolling in the barbeque ash.

arcticstorm · 11-26-2005, 07:51 PM

Q.what is the Silmarillion?
A. The Silmarillion was the silmarill taken from Morgoth's crown by Beren and Luthien, It is known as such because at some point in its history it recieved an electrical charge, however it is still debated wether it was an silmarillanion or a silmarillcation
