A Potentially Meaningful 'What if' - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In the extremely unlikely event that Tom Bombadil made the journey from his tiny realm to the lands of Mordor, there is a slight chance that he could have tossed the Ring into the Fire. Who knows, however, whether the Ring would exert some sort of power over him so close to the place of its birth, and who knows how Bombadil's journey to Mordor would have affected his psyche? In any event it is a nearly impossible scenario.
