I thought he threw a stone into the well...?

He did, you're right. – Zeal 1 July 2005 20:49 (UTC)

Has anyone else noticed that the family tree at the bottom of this page suggests that Belladonna and Bungo were engaged in an incestuous union ? WMMartin 8 August 2005 12:20 (UTC)

Please, by all means, if you can figure out how to fix it...I get a headache just thinking about it! -Aranel ("Sarah") 22:43, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tooks as Scots

Here and here are a couple of sites which cite the golf/Thain explanation for Billy Boyd's Scottish accent. Unfortunately, these are just fan sites: if someone can find a more official reference, that would be great. —Josiah Rowe 03:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

And this is the bit from The Hobbit about Bullroarer Took and golf:

If you have ever seen a dragon in a pinch, you will realize that this was only poetical exaggeration applied to any hobbit, even to Old Took's great-grand-uncle Bullroarer, who was so huge (for a hobbit) that he could ride a horse. He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the Green Fields, and knocked their king Golfimbul's head clean off with a wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit-hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf invented at the same moment.

• Actually, of the two sites you sourced there, the first just refers to the second, and the second one is an old web page which doesn't have a direct quote from the actors. I've never seen a second news release that ever corrobrated or confirmed what they said here; so I think it's unreliable. All they ever said in the commnetaries was "Took are like Scots, so we can keep them"; they didn't explain why they came to that conclusion. So I put in the terrain stuff, granted as mostly speculation, because I think it's more rationale than the strained golf explanation. ---Ricimer 02:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
