Proof of God's existence.

Do you mind if I post this fact to /r/todayilearned?

he obviously decided to kill himself on that date after his wife died.

>>9969982
That would not be very Christian.

>Twain was born shortly after an appearance of Halley's Comet, and he predicted that he would "go out with it" as well; he died the day after the comet returned.

bravo Tolkien.

>>9970988
Is he canonically stronger than Sauron in his Prime?

>>9972904
I think Sauron is stronger canonically. However, Bombadil has the rare power of being completely unaffected by the ring's seduction. It's just a trinket to him.

Then why didn't Gandalf make him take the Ring instead of Frodo then?

>>9973016
1) how would he make him do anything?
2) tom bombadil only has power inside his own limits of old forest + barrow downs and can't venture outside of that area.

If Tom agreed to take the ring, Sauron would just gradually take over the rest of Middle-Earth until Tom was the only thing left standing.

lol what

again you have been
fooled by randomness

>>9970018
It was a joke, anon.

>ring a dong
Was Ol Tom Bombadil suggesting Frodo wear the ring on his dick???

>>9972904
Tom's powers don't extend beyond his realm, which is just a few acres.

>>9973016
>>9973062
Tom also didn't care for the ring at all and could not be trusted to keep or watch over it--it was utterly insignificant to him.

>>9972904
Tom Bombadil is literally just Tolkien's self-insert. He's the strongest being in all of middle earth by virtue of his very existence, but at the same time is unable to affect the events in it in any meaningful way. Tom Bombadil is essentially the death of the author, and comparing power levels with him is futile.
