Fortunately, because Mount Zoom was used so many times in this story, Eru made it vanish from all existance.

Unfortunately, it tormented Eru instead. Not to mention there was still Minas Tirith and Isengard on wheels.

Fortunately for Eru, he got Mount Zoom written
into Lost as a (what else?) deux ex
machina to help the survivors to civilization,
and to keep it from bugging him in Middle-earth.

Unfortunately, Minas Taxi, Barad-Dash, Orth-Tank* and the rest were still at large.

Fortunately the Gondorians of yore made many
speedbumps of orthanc stone, and placed them wisely,
as their seers (ancestors of Malbeth) had predicted
the rise of the machines and their evil plan to
terminate other modes of transportation.

Unfortunately, GDOT (Gondor Department of Transportation) decided that the Orthanc speedbumps impeded the flow of wagons and removed them.

Tuor of Gondolin · 04-06-2006, 09:22 AM

Fortunately the GDOT's order, in a typical beureaucratic
move, was superceded by the AEPA (Arnor Environmental
Protection Agency) since removal of the speedbumps
would imperil the endangered Balrog(s?), who needed
to stand on bits of Orthanc Stone to use its
mysterious properties to get enough lift to fly away.
