Okay, tell me if this is a bad idea or just ignore it, but there's a certain thread on Books that got me thinking this way.

You know how there are all those jokes about how many ________ does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Well, why not do a thread with "how many" jokes based on Tolkien's writings? In other words, why not see how many times we can make the poor old Beren roll over in his grave?

You can change the creature, and you can change what gets changed. Uh, get it?

I'm not very good at jokes, but I'm sure bunches of you are, so feel free to improve on my poorish attempt, or come up with one of your own, or answer my ridiculous question with an clever, clownish, humorous answer of your own. (See? I'm so bad at this I'm leaving it to the rest of you to come up with an answer 'cause I can't think of one.....)

How many Huorns does it take to change a Palantir?
