Is this true? &#8211; Traci<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The notion is not borne out anywhere in Tolkien&#8217;s writing but is part of Arwen&#8217;s original character description for the Peter Jackson films. In the books it is true that she carries the name of &#8220;Undomiel&#8221;, which means &#8216;the even-star of her people&#8217;, but this is probably more symbolic than literal, signifying the waning of the Eldar in general. -JW<\/p>\n<p><em>How many times does Frodo almost die in The Lord of the Rings movies? &#8211; Primula<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Take <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sporcle.com\/games\/Sitsaln\/times-frodo-would-have-almost-died\" target=\"_blank\">this sporcle quiz<\/a> and find out yourself! In all seriousness, it&#8217;s a fun quiz and interesting to see which various characters save Frodo, including one you probably wouldn&#8217;t think of offhand. (No surprise who saves him the most!) &#8211; JW<\/p>\n<p><em>[In reference to the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/2013\/04\/18\/70887-nine-absurd-ideas-for-the-hobbit-and-the-lord-of-the-rings-that-were-actually-considered\/\" title=\"Nine Absurd Ideas \"target=\"_blank\">Nine Absurd Ideas for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings That Were Actually Considered:<\/a>]<\/em> <em>You forgot one: Last year, TORn reported that Jackson thought of having Gollum kill Frodo&#8217;s parents in The Hobbit. I remember because I attended a discussion hosted by Quickbeam on the idea. &#8211; Christine<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The idea has some merit! When Frodo&#8217;s parents are boating, Gollum is on the loose and looking for a Baggins from the Shire. (In &#8220;The Shadow of the Past&#8221; Gandalf even mentions that Gollum pursues the Ring to Dale and back West again, all the way to a river.) And Tolkien even hints that the drowning of Frodo&#8217;s parents has some suspicious circumstances, possibly including a struggle. Then again, the river Gandalf is referring to is the Anduin, so it shoots down the whole theory, doesn&#8217;t it? As the Gaffer says, boats are tricky enough for those that sit still. &#8211; JW<\/p>\n<p><em>What tobacco did J.R.R. Tolkien smoke? &#8211; Dan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no record of what he preferred, but his children have said he used to keep nuts and washers in Navy Cut tins, so that&#8217;s as likely as any. &#8211; JW<\/p>\n<p><strong>The answer to the riddle above?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_274z9AO6Q8\" title=\"tomorrow\" target=\"_blank\">Tomorrow<\/a> (Or &#8220;the future&#8221;, but that doesn&#8217;t come with a cool hobbit video.)<\/p>\n<p><em>J.W.
