Funny you should say that...

[Bom Tombadillo]

Ooh! Ooh!

Here are some nice little incongruities to giggle at:

The great shadow descended like a falling cloud. And behold! It was a winged creature: if bird, then greater than all other birds, and it was naked . . .

And the second half of the same quote:

. . . and neither quill nor feather did it bear, and its vast pinions were as webs of hide between horned fingers; and it stank.

Also this one from the Silmarillion:

The Ring was unbreakable by any smithcraft less than his own. It was indissoluble in any fire, save the undying subterranean fire where it was made - and that was unapproachable, in Mordor. Also so great was the Ring's power of lust, that anyone who used it was mastered by it; it was beyond the strength of any will (even his own) to injure it, cast it away, or neglect it. So he thought. It was in any case on his finger.
