[Eol]

Elian: what letter was that statement found in and when in comparison to his books? He also did not specify what type of leaf according to your quote. For all we know they rounded. Ears or no ears, it does not really matter.

As far as physical differences, I feel there would be little between the Men and the Elves. I recalled reading that tolkien did not want the stereo type of the fantasy characters, expecially with the elves. He never reached the point of not using "elf" , "drawf", or "human". So the elves are fair. In comparison to what? Yes were read of stars and stuff, but translate this into laymens terms?

Whatever physical differences that may exsist, it cannot take away from the mindset and emotions that is shared between the Men and the Elves. That is the thing that we should more be concerned about, you would have a better converstation, one that is a bit more mature.
