Why does Leglas love his hair

Why does Legolas love his hair?

It conceals the bizarre tattoo he got on his scalp as youthful elf (in his early 200's).

Q: Why was Sauron embodied as a huge eye?

A: He wasn't. He was embodied as a full grown man. Yet he had a strange eye desease that made his eye super huge and full of fire.

A: Merry, of course. Now if he could only find someone named Christmas, he'd be set.

Which brings me to a question...
Q: Did Ents ever look like Christmas trees?

A: Really hard to compare... Merry was rather sweet, but gave a nasty bitter aftertaste which Treebeard didn't like. Pippin on the other hand was chewy and tasteless, though he contained a lot of calcium and with red ent-drought had a nice subtle taste. Treebeard would prefer to eat both of them again.

Q: Why did Roäc have a bald spot?

elronds_daughter · 09-23-2006, 03:02 PM

Uh-oh...cross-post...

Naria · 09-23-2006, 04:02 PM

Daughter you technically had your post up first, so it's your question next. If you have an answer for Volo's...that seems to work the best. Then put your question up again.

or whatevers

The Sixth Wizard · 09-23-2006, 06:34 PM

Why did Roäc have a bald spot?

He wanted to emulate the American Bald Eagle, ignorant of the fact that they aren't actually bald.

And...

Q: Did Ents ever look like Christmas trees?

A: Yes. In fact, that's where the Entwives went. You see, many of Santa's elves rebelled against their master after Christmas went missing, and swore a deadly oath to regain Christmas from whomsoever took it from them (incidentally it was the Grinch), and Santa did not have enough elves to go around. So he enslaved the Entwife populace and stuck 'presents' underneath them, and cut them down to make all his wooden toys. Mean old person.

Why didn't the Valar just forgive the Noldor after Feanor died and killed off Morgoth earlier?

The Elf-warrior · 09-23-2006, 10:40 PM

Q: Why didn't the Valar just forgive the Noldor after Feanor died and killed off Morgoth earlier?

A: Because they were waiting for Venus to come.

Q: Who can stand against both Sauron and Saruman?

A: Because someone was pulling on its ear. It didn't want to go, but it didn't have a choice! Poor thing.

Q: What was it with the Haradrim and face-paint?

A: Not everyone can afford good make-up! And they had to cover that BAD acne somehow.

Q: howcome Ents, living for thousands of years and always drinking Ent draughts did not grow to unfathomable heights? (after all, if Merry and Pippin grew noticeably after only a few drinks, what could a few ages of drinking do to an Ent?)

A: In reality Ents hate the flavour of Ent draught and spit it out when noone is looking.

Q: Why did Turin kill himself?
