hmmm I would think that the elves, being first born and all, would have come up with a better use of the spear. . .Especially if the Elvish spearmen was feared as I have never heard of any dread sorrounding Viking/Anglo-Saxon/Norman spearmen in particular.

About Aiglos, I still think that even if Gil-Galad dropped it and it was not destroyed by Sauron, it would have been stomped to smithereens. Even mighty things of Elven craft can break. Also it would make no sence if this weapon did indeed survive and we heard nothing of it.
