Beorn did.
I thought it was Mad Max who said that.
No, that may have been Max Headroom; though Beorn said it first, so Lord_aragorn86 gets the pretty bauble.
Why did Beorn warn Thorin's Company against drinking from the stream in Mirkwood

Because even though it would grant them eternal youth, it would also turn them blind.
Luckily though, the wisdom of the mighty King Iskander was limitless.

Because it would do strange things to them, put them to sleep or something like that, my copy of the Hobbit is gone so I can't look it up.
Yes Fionw’ Urion, it would put them to sleep which is why they had to carry Bombur for many days after he fell into the stream. So you get another Pseudo-Silmaril.
What kind of birds drew the ships of the Teleri to the shores of Aman
What kind of birds drew the ships of the Teleri to the shores of Aman
They were dragged across the sea by 1,000,000 hummingbirds, released by Yavanna herself from her husband Aul’'s bird cage... the couple had a quarrel that day and as Aul’ had commanded his Dwarves to cut down a few forests in the heat of their argument, Yavanna had to pay him back with interest..
Close, but no cigar Virumor. Try again.
Swans?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Eol?
Yes Etharion, however you forgot the 24 hour rule so you don't get the Pseudo-Silmaril. Sorry.
King Elessar appointed Pippin to what office
however you forgot the 24 hour rule so you don't get the Pseudo-Silmaril. Sorry.King Elessar appointed Pippin to what office

Only answers that were given to be the right one will be placed under the 24 hour rule......
Only answers that were given to be the right one will be placed under the 24 hour rule......Correct Mellon, the three appointed counsellors were the Thain (leader of the Tooks), the Master (leader of Buckland), and the Mayor (of the Shire) and at that time they were Pippin, Merry, and Sam respectively. Mellon gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.

Oops ..I'm so sorry Grondy..when will I ever learn ?
Quote:
Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
No, that is the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, the Fifth Battle of Beleriand and most disastrous of the battles in those wars. I'm looking for the name of an earlier battle.Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
Don't worry about it Mellon, it's not like we have a whole hoaf* of people complaining that they never get a chance at the question; though when the Hobbit movie comes out and we have many more active members we will have to try to be more equitable.
* Is "hoaf" a real word or have my ears misheard all these years when people have actually said "a whole host"?
Dagor Bragollach
Well I cannot really see how in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad his full power was not revealed... ?!
Mybe the Battle Of tumhalad but that was after the Nirnaed Arnoediad
I meant first revealed, like once they had been revealed at Dagor Bragollach, the Battle of Sudden Flame, his great size and mighty flame were no longer a revellation by the time of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the Elves had previously encountered them. They had encountered him even earlier and drove him off because he was not yet full grown and his hide wasn't yet protection from arrows, but it was at Dagor Bragollach where he was in his prime. T’rin gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
