@Orome: Why are you so sure about Ringwraith
having no bodies? It is not said clearly in
the books. The Silmarillion only says "they
became invisible", not disembodied.
I always imagined them with a body, just
invisible. They wouldn't be able to ride or
use weapons without a body and in book 3,
Tolkien mentions sinews and undead flesh...

PS: Excuse me for being a bit off-topic...
