I'm surprised Lyinar hasn't began the crusade yet.

Balrogs don't have wings, by the way.

I don't think they can talk either, although I am not sure about that.

I'm sure that they don't have wings though.

Now, whether they can fly or not is another thing. They are Maia after all.


And for the record, Gandalf did die, just thought you should know.

What? Where the heck did this occur in the LoTR trilogy without my noticing? More information needed, judgement reserved.

It wasn't specifically in LOTR (Except for Gandalf dying, but that is not as easy to pick up either.) It was in his letters. When they made the first LOTR movie (The Cartoon version) he was angry because they gave the Balrog wings and had it speak, when he never wrote that it did.

If you want proof that Balrogs don't fly, besides in his letters, then look in the Silmarillion. When the great rivers of lava burst forth from Angband it says that they "Ran" as swift as Balrogs. Now, why would they run if they had wings? Because they don't.

Tolkien also wrote that Gandalf's death and resurrection was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with being symbolic of Christ's death and resurrection, which many people thought.

Piper had this to say about Punky Brewster:
We were at the mall, and Drysart got this funny look on his face and said, "....I feel a disturbance in the force... we must go home." He fingered his banstick nervously as he speeded down the road...

Hey, do I get to be sexiest bald man on the boards now, with Delidgamond gone?

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.
