LOL! I'd have to agree with you...  And talk about the attack of the killer plot bunnies. I have a sudden urge to go write a story about how Tolkien knew how it all actually happened (as much as I hate to allude to a time-travel portal of some type).
Thanks for the article, it was very interesting!

Let the imagination plot bunnies begin!!!! Oh, and very interesting article...makes you wonder.
And that artist concept of what that species would of looked like really makes me want to send them a sketch of a hobbit, and say, "You got it all wrong! This is it!"

I already read about this on a different board.  My friend David speculated about finding elven skeletal remains next, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that elves sort of disintegrated when they died instead of leaving behind bones or anything. Can someone confirm this for me?

Lol... it depends... if it's all true, the Elves who died in the "Middle-earth era" may have disintegrated (though I don't think that's true). And if there really were Elves, the question is, are there some still living in Valinor, which, from my understanding, was removed from Arda and that was why Elves were the only beings who could reach it?
It's always fun to speculate.

There was a large article in the Globe this AM about this find. The writer did mention that locals on the island did report about some of these 'funny little people/beings' still living in the caves in recent times. It also made referrence to the myth of elves and such creatures perhaps existing.
Almost makes you want to leave a saucer of milk out for the fea(hmm hope I spelled that correctly) people on Halloween night. 
Cheers

Yall are welcome.
I have read a few fan fic's concerning how Tolkien got his ideas. One of the best was one where Legolas stayed behind and befriended him. It was a really good read. At the end I cried like a baby!!!
This could be an interesting idea. Tell how you think Tolkien got the idea for the books. |

Amlee,
Do you remember the name of that story or have the URL? Sounds like a good read.
Cheers

I think he went into his friend Jack's wardrobe and took a left instead of a right.

I do have the url to the story, but I need to warn those that like to stick to true Tolkien. This story is AU, but still very good. Very much worth the read. Also you can go to FF.net and read the rest of this authors stories also. They are very good!! His/her pen name on FF is James8.
The url is http://www.freewebs.com/salysha/history.html
Let me know what you think!! |

I'm not Amlee (obviously), but I do know a couple of good ones and I don't think they're AUs either.

According to the article the skeletons were no more than 3 feet tall!
That almost makes the LOTR fims Hobbits look like giants by comparison!
The article also mentions the possibility that some may still live in deep jungles of Indonesia.
At the time the "hobbits" lived they coexisted with pigmy elephants! |
