To hide things in. Gandalf has one for the same reason.

How long did it take to build the Argonath?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-08-2007, 08:55 AM

Three million years. This was due to a decision to carve them using water erosion instead of more conventional tools.

Since TSOAR didn't ask a question, I will!
In honor of this thread (I'm not saying it's a stupid question, I just couldn't resist.)

Q: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen Balrog?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 02-20-2007, 12:10 PM

It varies depending on wind speed, size of Balrog and the number of Monty Python references in the conversation so far.

Since they say that a wafer of lembas can get a man through a hard day of work, and it is estimated that an active adult may burn up to 3600 calories in a day of hard work, I'd say that a wafer of lembas has about 2000 calories.

The deficit between caloric intake and output explains why elves are so thin... they are all anorexic!!

Q: What's the deal with Fangorn? I mean, it's unnatural to be THAT unhasty

A: Well, seeing that it took over a month for somebody to answer this, it's safe to say it isn't.

Q: What were the fates of Elladan and Elrohir?
