3000 years?!? This is less than 20 years ago, Smombies!

Agreed, someone was stretching for a funny meme. I was just amused by it for some stupid reason lol

Erm - if you were amused by this, you never had to deal with this ball (without chain) personally in the ways you showed. I definitely did! And that ball was the least troublesome bit!!!

Oh I definitely did. They were still being used by my elementary school and a few of the classrooms in my high school. I remember having to take the ball out and unwrap threads off of it and of finding mice that the other idiot high school students stole the balls out of.

I can imagine Hobbit kids doing the same, as those balls probably made excellent slingshot ammunition! 🤣
But then some rustic Hobbits had an ambivalent opinion of the value of education.
Gaffer Gamgee's comment somewhere that Bilbo had "taught Sam his letters - meaning no harm, mind you" 😨

Well, that was a quick merging of two universes. I'm not surprised it didn't take long.

For all those who aren't in the know....this references a Show called The Mandalorian which takes place 5 years after Return of the Jedi in the Star Wars universe.

Morgoth sees Varda for the first time in Valimar after getting out of Mandos.

I've been wondering if JRRT even had any influence (in whatever way) on the DC comics superheroes collectively known as "Green Lantern"? Not on the first one, certainly, created in 1940. But the second one, a different character, "reinvented in 1959", was post-LoTR. There have been ten of them as per Wikipedia, so no match to one, three, seven and nine, but the quote "The characters are typically depicted as members of the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar law enforcement agency." does make me think of Maiar sent to Middle-earth in the Third Age ...

"Playing" around with the geographical name "Mordor", this might have been a veiled threat that this realm would be opening "more doors", i.e. (unnatural) openings on opponent's bodies as a matter of routine ...
Gives one an entirely new perspective on the piercing mania of recent years …
