    It’s about weight ratios. A 500 lb bird could hardly carry a 50 ton mountain now could it? It’s the coconut all over again

        I got curious and looked, is actually probably closer to 3 billion tons.

          Is this written somewhere in Tolkien’s works? What a detailed writer.

    It’s hardly in keeping with the village’s rustic aesthetic.

      This. Even Tolkien said this: “Oh he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about no other than rustic aesthetics. How can they dare to place it right in their heart?”
