No MAN can kill a Nazgul - the prophecy said nothing about hobbits or women...which is probably why the Merry/Eowyn combo worked so well. smilies/tongue.gif

I'm not worried that they'll cut it entirely - the pic of Sam wielding the Phial and Sting assures me of that. I'm only concerned that they'll chop it up into little pieces and make it PJ's fanfic...
