The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread

Album (5104) Thread 'The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread'
We have a whole thread of em! 😉

Coronavirus Songs -- and Jokes (?)

There are a lot of them! I thought a separate thread might be appropriate ; when this finally passes, the thread can sink into a well-deserved oblivion, and not remind everyone about the "bad old days". I'll start: So, what's your "favorite thing"?

Gollum is about 500.

As per the Tale of Years, Gollum had the Ring from 2463 to 2941 TA, or 478 years. Plus 78 without the Ring years until the Ring's destruction in 3019 makes 556 years. Plus X years that Gollum was old when he got hold of the Ring - I'd speculate he would have been at least in his tweens (not sure if the rustic Hobbits of the Gladden Fields of that time had coming-of-age at 33). So a rough estimate would put him at around 580 years old at his demise. A good deal older than ever Elros ...
 
Wow when you put it that way, its pretty remarkable that he was able to survive so long after he lost possession of the Ring. Perhaps he would have kept on lingering until its destruction, barring an "untimely" death by way of battle or murder.
