Or they could have evolved and changed. There's no garantee their tobacco was like ours. |

Potatoes and tobacco-- Potatoes. I never think much about them. *sheepish grin* Tobacco--I think of tobacco as different from what the ME-ians smoke. Then again, I don't think too much about these two things. I'm mostly concentrating on trying to figure out Sindarin, Elves, and the Númenóreans. |

Something tells me that if we look hard enough, we'll find a Tolkien scholar who theorized about this . |

Is Elrohir older than Elladan or is it the other way around? |

I'd always thought that Elladan was older. But I could be wrong. |

Tolkien never said. But, usually, when the twins are listed, Elladan is first. It's a generally accepted that Elladan is the firstborn, and the more "aggressive" of the two, while Elrohir is the gentler one. That probably stemmed from their names. Elladan means "Elf-man," and Elrohir means "Elf-rider" or "Elf-knight." |

Thank you. I didn't think it was mentioned, but I was just checking. |

What colour was Sam Gamgee's hair? I'm pretty sure it was brown (and thus I can laugh at the dumb author who called him a red head) but I'd like to be certain. |

Most likely. Nearly all hobbits had brown hair before the Ring war. |

I'm almost sure it was brown, in the books anyway. |
