Preach loud truth
420 blaze it Tollers
Jam session
Ceiling Lolkien
Shoot the Tolkpedo
Poke the Heretic
Chaika? Yes Chaika

Analysis

I take a look at the Moon's distance from Earth, as described in Tolkien's works, and argue that it was much smaller than today. In fact, the Moon orbited only about 1.5 m above Earth. Also, I discuss the effect this small distance had on humans and the architecture of Bree.

The final and conclusive answer to the burning question that Tolkien scholars have been brooding over for decades: What are Balrogs? How do they look like? And do they have wings?

One of the most frequently asked questions in Tolkien lore is: who and what exactly is Tom Bombadil? Here, I present a unique new theory that fits his observed qualities far better than any other theory out there.
