Birdland has just left Hobbiton.

It is a little known, and seamy, fact that Boromir was not actually the son of Denethor, but was the product of a one night stand between his mother, Finduilas, and Röac, the raven of the Lonely Mountains.

Now we all know that ravens like to collect shiny things, and Boromir was merely giving in to his "raven nature". He was going to keep the Ring with his collection of broken glass, tin foil, marbles and chewing gum wrappers that he kept back in Minas Tirith.

But ravens are also honest creatures, and will leave something in place of the shiny object they take. Boromir intended to justify the taking of the Ring by giving Frodo a bottle cap.

Oooops, forgot a question.

Why was Denethor mad at Faramir?
