If dwarves are non-flammable, would this mean that dwarves could have originated the idea of the sauna? Without being combustible they would make great hot rocks. Or of course bed warmers in the midst of dark winter nights.

And if elves could burn, would this suggest a true source for balrogs? If orcs are perverted elves, then possibly a large mass of elves, aflame ... And if their ears are large and pointy enough, then possibly they were mistaken for ... wings.

I'm surprised no one has yet used the smiley that is just begging to be employed here:
