Manwe, I would imagine.

After researching it a bit more, I've come to realize that he is not, in fact, one of the Valar. He's one of the Eldar (I mistakenly thought that the Eldar were part of the Valar as a whole, but now realize my error.

So no, it wasn't Manwe. Sorry.

pffft. Some Tolkein fan you are. :lol:

Then it was Finwe (or fingolfin, but most likely finwe).

You're so close. It was one of Finwë's other sons - Fingolfin's half-brother.

Meh, can't remember the other guy's name.... I know it's fin-something (duh), but it's been some years since I read the silmarillion, and besides, the theft and reclamation of the silmarils makes for considerably more compelling reading than the creation.

Aw hell, I'm gonna give it to you. It was actually Feanor, but you're so close enough. You're up, Incandenza.

Word. Never would've gotten feanor in a million years.

New question:
What kind of dog is Ein? (there are two correct answers here)

Apologies if this has already been asked. I believe this is my first foray into this thread.

Geez, a Cowboy Bebop reference, that is nerdy.

The only way I will remember is if Cartoon Network is showing it this weekend.

Aw, it's not THAT nerdy.... I could've asked a neon genesis evangelion question.

Wow, I thought that would be a pretty easy question. You guys suck.

The answer is that Ein is both a Welsh Corgi and a data dog.

New question (and a nice and easy one):
Who is Anakin Skywalker's father?

was it the trader guy that he and his mom worked for? i can't remember his name.

Watto? The little blue flying elephant arabic-sounding dude? Yeah, not so much. :lol:

Nor was it anyone in the Beru family.

Seriously, no one?

Worst. Nerd. Trivia. Thread. Ever.

Whoever posts here next can ask a new question.

UselessTriviaMan · Post by **UselessTriviaMan** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 8:32 am

Heh, I was totally gonna leave it alone. But since no one else is gonna say it, I believe there was no father, unless you count the Holy Spirit. I mean, the Force.

That's a big ten-four.

She appeared in both Star Trek: Generations and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Who is she?
