This test is skewed to make everyone a Dwarf.

I thought JRR said he based the dwarves in his books off of the Jews, not the Norse myths.

Anyway, I'm a tree.

EDIT:  here's an interesting article about the dwarves in Tolkien's works.

Human

"You are a Human. You are noble and brave, putting others before yourself. You think of the greater good and the things you can do to help society. Whether King or Queen of Gondor, or a simple village folk, you are proud of your people."
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Boggit is a Dwarf! Funny, I thought I might come out as a Hobbit. That'll annoy Sauron! :2funny: ;D

@Mirth :)
Great find - just brilliant. I recently watched the trilogy, and the ending ... well just bizarre, and not at all like the book. Well actually a lot of the film is just a passing resemblance. It's odd looking at the Hobbit and comparing it to LotR. Jackson actually did quite a good job of that one. I wonder why he deviated so far with the Hobbit? Money I guess was the motivation more than anything this time, but I think the Hobbit has done nothing for his reputation as a film maker.

Why?
If you havent read the books its good films, I know my son and all his friends loved it. And they are the target audience after all.

By that reasoning, the Star Wars prequels are good films too. :P

Oh, I agree that its fun as a more generic film (although the final battle is a bit bizarre).

I'm just saying that it is not what it is purporting to be. OK, LotR has some Tolkien inaccuracies, but substantially the movie is the film version of the three books. The divergence between the book of the Hobbit, and the three Hobbit films is vastly greater than with the Lord of the Rings films was with its books. Why call the three films the Hobbit, using Tolkien all over the marketing material if you're going to diverge considerably from the story? Wingnut films could quite easily have called the film something else, but by calling it the Hobbit, and making it clear that they were referring to Tolkien's Hobbit they created a not unreasonable expectation that the film would be reasonably faithful to the book.

I am an Elf.  As I knew I would be :)

You are an Elf! You are sophisticated and elegant. You are wise for your immortal age, knowing when to fight and when to back down. You will not engage in anything you don't have to, making sure you and your loved ones stay safe. Keeping your honor high and your hygiene even higher.
And the One Song to Rule Them All is Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones

do you know how I know that you're gay?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
