I guess according to you gravity waves didn't exist until a few years ago, nor did photons exist until the 1900s. :heh

Post by: ToxicAdam on January 17, 2017, 12:02:35 PM: 5 mouths. 5 digestive tracts? 5 anuses? Or one centralized digestive tract? Which head decides when it is hungry and full?

So many questions that scientists need to study.

*puts on nerd cap*

Ancalagon fall resulted in the destruction of a massive part of the Iron Mountains including three huge towers. That would suggest he was as large as the mountains.

Even though The Hobbit trilogy didn't turn out so great, I still really want some more Tolkein movies based on the crazy stuff that was in The Silmarillion.

Not gonna happen unless Christopher Tolkein sells the rights, which means it won't happen until he dies.

They couldn't even name the Blue Wizards in the Hobbit movie because of it. RIP Pallando

Tolkein Dragons are meh. I don't even like LotR much but the dragons there are pretty underwhelming compared to other elements.

They were never meant to be a central point tbh. Neither did other fantasy creatures.
