To me, people who ask questions, even dumb ones, are okay. If they have read the books and really don't get something, well, everybody misses things sometimes. But the ones who haven't even touched any of Tolkien's books, or have seen maybe one or two of the movies, well, sometimes I just want to whack them with a dull sword. These are the questions that really got me (and believe it or not, all of these are from the same person)...
1. So, why did Aragorn and Arwen get married if they are related?? That is, like, so perverted!
2. Why is Elrond so ugly? I thought Elves were supposed to be hot.
3. Which one is the elf...Aragorn or Boromir?
When this person asked me these "questions", I just looked at her in utter shock and walked away.
Saucepan Man, kudos for the 9th or 10th level thing! People at my school mainly think Lord of the Rings is just an offshoot of DnD.
