Well, you'd need a blender to make Legolas nice and liquidy before drinking him. Then I presume he'd fill about 50 mugs. How many Downers can you fit in Rune's room?

There's only one answer: Let's all go there and see. How many hamsters has Melkor had during his existence? |

Just one. After poor Chuckles escaped and was eaten by Huan, Melkor could never see himself owning another hamster. How many trolls does it take to cook a hobbit? |

Only one, the presence of more then one would bring death to all of them, as seen in The Hobbit. How many Witch-kings does it take to break Gandalf's staff?

Hey! They wouldn't go as far as cannibalism!  How many fish did Gollum eat under the Misty Mountains? |

That's easy, one for every Tolkienbashing review ever written. Let's have another go at this one: How many monsters does it take to eat all the critics?

So here you go!
How many monsters does it take to eat all the critics? Depends on the levels. A 20 level monster can eat 56,8 level 5 critics, but the ratio critically changes if the critics have a +3 reputation bonus. How many critics does it take to avoid being eaten by the monsters? |

Two. The first critic feeds the brain of the second critic to a monster; the monster is sickened by the repugnance of the thoughts in the critic's brain, and loses its lunch. Word gets out to all the other monsters and the critics are safe..... (blast it) ..... to continue their Tolkienbashing. How many posthumous volumes of original Tolkien material does it take to satisfy the voracious appetites of Tolkien fanatics? |

If qz < xy by a large amount, there will be excess beer and production will have to be slowed, resulting in mass unemployment amongst barley farmers who will be made redundant. If qz = xy everything will be just fine. If qz > xy a potential drinking-up situation is plausible. This would result in mass riots. Now, we know that hobbits never rioted, and also that there was no great depression. Therefore it's safest to assume that qz has roughly equalled xy for all of the Shire's history, meaning that it will probably continue to do so until th Shire collapses. All of which means no amount of hobbits could ever drink up the Green Dragon. Unless they invented straws. How many Moriquendi does it take to teach a man to walk on snow? |

See, hobbits have an amazing adaptation. With their large feet and their hairy feet they have natural, built-in snowshoes. As long as they walk with that wide sliding manner which the Inuit have perfected in our age, hobbits would not need any kind of elf to teach them how to snowwalk. How many mulberry trees did it take to feed the worms which produced the silk for Arwen's wedding gown?

Q: How many hours can a Hobbit live without eating anything?

Only one - after all, "the road" that "goes ever on and on..." is singular!
How many volumes of HoME must a Downer research in order to win a forum argument on Balrog wings?

Only one, also. The volume 76 is titled "Wings Or No Wings" and is the longest HoME book. The conclusion is that Balrogs do have wings, but they are, unlike most think, made of pink cardboard.

500, around which time the earth will be destroyed and one of the refugees, whose great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great . . . ah, you get the idea, was a Downer, will find the relevant material floating through space, miraculously unharmed. Of course, by then even Tolkien will have faded into obscurity, meaning that the refugee will huck the book back into space, where it will eventually hit the leader of the species of alien whose planet the remnants of humanity are heading towards. Upon the arrival of humans to this planet and the aliens' realization that the humans are the species who wrote the book, a massive interspecies war will begin, in which both sides will be utterly wiped out, preventing anyone from ever deciding the question of whether the wings were, in fact, made of pink cardboard as some state, or of dwarf beards.
How many years will pass before cats telepathically absorb knowledge of language from sleeping on the works of Tolkien and use this knowledge to communicate among themselves, eventually staging the Great Cat Revolution, which will establish a government whose leaders are chosen by knowledge of Middle-Earth? |
