> My point is this: Not only was the Balrog from LOTR a fierce creature, but it was also the size of the Empire State Building. Now, Tipero, a dwarf, couldn't have been much more than the size of an outhouse. Now imagine standing an outhose next to the Empire State Building, or even just a small skyscraper. How does someone fight somethign that much BIG? Is he just whacking it in the toe until it passes out from the pain? does he climb up it's leg and find a more vital organ? If anybody has any idea how it works, please tell me.

It's like a cartoon...some things aren't supposed to make sense. Like how Wile E. Coyote never dies even though he's fallen off the cliff thousands and thousands of times.
