Jun 23, 2018 at 13:47 comment added Pryftan @frikinside Indeed; that's how the Orcs were able to locate Isildur before the Ring betrayed him in the Gladden river. And in the case of Sam he saw a boat moving on its own; it was obvious that Frodo was in it. That's when he went into the water and Frodo immediately brought him into the boat - and then called him a confounded nuisance or some such.

Feb 1, 2016 at 19:20 comment added frikinside Just, another comment with this question. For me the stupid thing isn't the freak out disbanded of the fellowship. Letm e explain with 3 points. First, Aragorn, a dunedain with highly capabilities of seeking and follow tracks. Second, Boromir, the only one who knows where Frodo disapeared. And thrid, Frodo, a hobbit unexperience at covering his tracks. WHY ON MIDDLE EARTH BOROMIR AND ARAGORN DON'T GO TOGETHER TO SEEK FRODO IN FIRST PLACE? This is the thing that anoyed me...
Feb 1, 2016 at 19:16 comment added frikinside I know this is an "ancient" question but I want to remark one thing about the "invisibility equals undiscoverable" thing. Biology provide us with another 4 senses despite the view. If something can't be see doesn't mean that you cannot smell it or hear it or even see tracks or even clues of his movements, just like Aragorn did. The same with blackholes (stupid example, I know. But you surely know what I mean) you can't see it, but you can notice the effects so you can say where a blackhole is without needed to see it.

May 22, 2015 at 16:15 comment added Wad Cheber I'm picturing a milk carton printed with "Have you seen this hobbit?", a blank space where the photo should be, and below that, "Description: 3'8", 80 lbs; Hair: Invisible. Eye Color: Invisible. Skin Color: Invisible. Last unseen wearing: Magic Ring that makes him invisible. If you have seen this hobbit, please call 1-800-THE-RING. Reward of global annihilation by the Dark Lord for information regarding the whereabouts of this hobbit."
