<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>i am not entirely sure what we're discussing; it's the black patch on his left shoulder, yeah?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually, I began this discussion because of an uncanny resemblance between the scar on Frodo's right upper quadrant to the Eye of Mordor. I believe now it is an interesting visual coincidence, though and is indeed the scar from Shelob's sting, although there seems to be some doubt as to where she actually got him. I was under the impression she swooped down from above and got him from the front, thus circumventing the mithril shirt's protection. That's about as far as I've gotten with it, though!<P>Cheers!<BR>Lyta
