Apart from Cirdan of course, Elves don't have beards because they tend to have ginger facial hair and that really doesn't go with their hairstyle.

On the quest of the Ring, how many Orcs did Frodo slay with Sting?

Why did Melkor never marry?

hobbitlass 01-30-2003 07:23 AM

A common misconception, he did marry. That's where all the trouble came from. He was married to Belegurtha. He was just a hen-pecked husband. She wanted it all, and she made him do it.
*********************************************
Why did Ungoliant help Melkor?

Atariel 01-30-2003 01:21 PM

After marital difficulties with Belegurtha, Melkor turned to Ungoliant, his secretary, whom he persuaded to help him obtain the Silmarils, the one thing that would get him a one-way ticket back to Belegurtha's heart./

Where is the city of Gondor?

Diamond18 01-30-2003 06:07 PM

Take Hwy. 50 out of the Shire, past the Rohan turnpike, get off at Exit 9, take a left on Mark Street, right on Ridder Road, a left on Dwimmerlaik Drive, go about one hundred miles, take a right turn where the old Pukel Palace Mall used to be and follow the Garn-Buries-Gum scenic mountain pass and voíla! You're in Gondor, enjoy your stay.

The Saucepan Man 01-30-2003 10:11 PM

The Odd Couple, a daytime sit-com, where the uptight and neurotic Elf Legolas is forever exasperated by the exploits of his ever-humorous Dwarf sidekick, Gimli.

They were made by Julia Child, out of sugar and spice and everything nice.

What is "Merry" a nickname for?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 01-31-2003 08:12 AM

Meriadoc Brandybuck was such an all-round miserable Hobbit that everyone else thought it would be funny to give him the nickname 'Merry'.

Why didn't Arargorn want to be king?

Iarwain 02-01-2003 12:57 PM

He never really wanted to marry Arwen, but since she was so hyped up about it, he figured that he ought to at least act like he wanted it,and since Sauron's victory seemed inevitable, he convinced Elrond to allow their marriage only if he became king.

Why did the Entwives leave, and where did they run off to?

[ February 01, 2003: Message edited by: Iarwain ]

Mintyztwin 02-01-2003 02:29 PM

Well, the ents flatly refused to brush their hair, beard, or do any personal grooming. That's why the entwives left. They went to Mirkwood and started a salon and their own line of beauty products, which explains why Legolas always looks perfect.


Why doesn't Aragorn try some of the entwives products? Eru knows Legolas has tried to sell them to him!

Diamond18 02-01-2003 02:38 PM

Because Aragorn is a notorious tightwad. Squeezing pennies from him is like trying to make bread-juice. Every since a distant cousin of his lost his wallet, he's been very cautious about these things.

Aylwen Dreamsong 02-01-2003 03:44 PM

Arwen's long lost twin, of course!

Explain Shelob's past.

Lyra Greenleaf 02-01-2003 04:33 PM

She is actually Galdriel, it's a severe case of split personality.
------------------
Why did Aragorn go for Arwen, not Eowyn who is blatantly better suited to him?
(Oh sorry, have I been believing the film too much?)

Pookabunny 02-01-2003 04:43 PM

Because she has a bigger rack.

He was a Spawn of Ungoliant. C'mon, you knew there was something not quite right about him. All that put-on jollity... A smile is just a frown turned upside down, you know, and when he gets to sucking the life juices from your body will you be amused by his derry dolling then?
