Did Morgoth feed Carcharoth his OWN hand?

[Son of Númenor]

But Son, what if I said this-

"My mother fed me chicken with beef."

That would be a weird thing to say, & I would assume the latter of the two meanings you provided. That is a rather different scenario.

Ty, I agree. I was simply asking if anyone felt different, no need to try and make me look foolish, Phantom. I didn't believe myself that he fed him with his own hand. Just an interesting topic I thought to post about, and the English language (if you know it well enough) makes it hard to determine what EXACTLY someone means. (And if it wasn't we wouldn't have half the topics we do now.)

Okay, then how about "My mother fed me chicken nuggets with a side of french fries". That doesn't sound as weird and I could still do my silly little illustration with it. And actually, french fries make much better eating utensils than beef.

Isn't that the truth.

Oh, Twi, I hope you don't think I was trying to do that. I just like trying to give people a license to believe something others view as silly so that maybe they'll support me when I believe something silly on another thread.

And also, what about my theory that Morgoth was feeding his wolf apple pie while his hand was upon living flesh. That technically works, doesn't it (aside from the text not mentioning apple pie)?

In that case, I think you're right! All except the apple pie part... I think it was cherry pie.

I shudder to think about a beast of any kind being hand raised by Morgoth. My goodness even a hampster would be frightening!
