Yes! Another eagle fan! You have to admit it is amusing the way they always swoop in at the very last minute to save the day.

No, I'm a cat
How would that be pronounced? I can do Nyet, but the rest makes me quiver in fear of Bad Russian Mispronunciation.
Book-a-minute says the eagles are Deus ex Machinas. I think that's wrong. I think they're Dei ex Machina....

I have no idea. I've been pronouncing it just like it looks, but that could be terribly horribly wrong. I don't acctually know Russian, I just liked that phrase so I remembered it from somewhere.
What's Book-a-minute? I've been trying to find a Russian-English dictionary (so I can say Frodo Lives in Russian ) but every one I've found has translated things into Russian character too, so i can't read it. |

I don't really know how to explain book-a-minute...it's a parody site, that crunches books into about a page of dialogue.
If I recall rightly, the summary for "Return of the King" went something like this-- ::Gandalf:: You will all die. *they don't.* ::Gandalf:: Gondor will fall. *it doesn't* *A bunch of winged Deus ex machinas come down and save the day*

No, I think proportionately that hobbits are stronger.

it COULD mean Strong in body; sturdy. but also simply to a superabundance or excess of flesh. or stout could also mean brace yeah but I'd whoop ass with STOUT adolesent in any of those above definitions Quote:
the hobbits had greater endurance than COMMON men But against the High men i don't think they are a match Quote:
i don't think i would correct to call him a hobbit just as I would not call nazgul men Quote:
see: comp. guide to ME someone mentioned about hobbits ONLy had the strength to carry the ring But frodo, failed, it corrupted gollum. Dwarves were not servants to their rings per se, so they may have been a better choice

also look at the greatest hobbit warriors IF we take the story of bullroarer and golfimbul to be true he knocked the head of an orc
compare hurin the greatest human warrior he slew 70 trolls AFTER already being in battle for against the other servant of morgoth so turgon could retreat

Re to afro elf
so you didn't decided who is to your opinion is right?
I don't know the first story but I could say that it's more difficult to kill 70 trolls then one orc. I could say to the hobbits that Frodo didn't died when from Nazgul's sword in the start. |

I'd say, that hobbits had more endurance than normal men, as well as willpower, but I don't think, that they were physically stronger. There was no straight mentions about hobbit strength, but Tolkien told many times, that they could survive in hardest of situations, becouse their love for life, or something like that.

being more hardy does not equate great strength nor does it equate better war skills
i don't think they would ever be a kick as group of warriors
