BTW. Now that the subject arose again, I do not think, that crown being heawy would matter to a maia. Nor having to remove it for sleeping. You see, that is one thing that I really cannot picture Sauron doing... sleeping that is. I dont think Ainur have to sleep though Istari do.
(Yes. I know why Tolkien made it a ring. Lord of the swords, staffs, crowns, cups, bicycles or coins sounds silly and right out of deck of tarot. Lord of the rings is mystic in the best tradition of niebelungeliebe. But why did SAURON make it a ring? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] .)
