If you are going to accept wizards, orcs, elves and ents, this stuff seems a pretty small step.<P>As for the cloak issue. I'm not convinced at all that there are holes in the cloaks. It looks to me like Legolas wears his quiver over his cloak which, unless I'm missing something, solves the whole problem.<P>Editted to add: Actually, Mark, when you said you were a physics major and said my point was valid from a "Newtonian viewpoint", I thought you were going to go relativistic on me and use Einstein to explain the stunt. <P>H.C.<p>[ November 19, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
