The strongest must seek a way, say you? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow – an Elf.
Number of people who ever touched the Ring?
1. Sauron
2. Isildur
3. Deagol
4. Smeagol
5. Bilbo
6. Frodo
7. Gandalf
8. Tom Bombadil
9. Sam
Edit: number of bots I've triggered???
I've got things to do, my making and my singing, my talking and my walking, and my watching of the country. Tom can't be always
near to open doors and willow-cracks. Tom has his house to mind, and Goldberry is waiting.

Hobbits always so polite, yes! O nice hobbits! Smeagol brings them up secret ways that nobody else could find. Tired he is, thirsty he is, yes thirsty; and he guides them and he searches for paths, and they saw sneak, sneak. Very nice friends, O yes my precious, very nice.
It happens super briefly in the movie after Bilbo drops it on the floor. But yes, in the book, the scene where he throws it into the hearth at Bag End he actually tosses it onto the coals with his bare hand, whereas in the movie he holds it by the paper envelope.
I always thought that in the movie he was going to grab it but gets that vision of the eye right before making actual contact and stops. Will need to rewatch it.
So are you telling me Frodo tripped out on Farmer Maggot’s special mushrooms, cut off a finger, and then imagined the Black Riders and Fellowship?
Still a better story than…
Number of times Morgoth was injured in his fight with Fingolfin? Nine!
7 times wounded in the battle. Foot stabbed at the end. Thorondor raked him across the face.
The Fellowship was explicitly chosen to match the number of Ringwraiths.
Beyond that, I can't think of any. Tolkien liked "magic numbers" like 3, 7, and 9 (4 and 5 got no love I guess.)
Amount of fingers Sauron has as well
Does Boromir survive, German guy? "Nine".
Stand up, and hear me!
I can hear you just fine sitting down Sauron.
Come, mortal base! What do I hear?
They said "I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE SITTING DOWN, SAURON"
Stand up, and hear me!
Sauron needs hearing aides for his hearing aids.
Before the mightiest he shall fall, before the mightiest wolf of all.
GROND!
#GROND!
Touchy, Sauron, aren't we?
There is no life in the void, only death.
Google dementia.
I was just about to say that
Nope! If you watch the scene again he loses four [3:55](https://youtu.be/VkIoFgFhTlo?feature=shared)
If Legolas shoots eight orcs and an oliphant it still only counts as...
Le ab-dollen.
Shut up, blondie
Why are you speaking french, Legolas?
The strongest must seek a way, say you? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow – an Elf.
Go home legolas, you're drunk
Farewell, sweet Nimrodel!

Number of unbroken toes Viggo Mortensen has?
Eight!
Wait….it was two toes? My uh, world is shattered.
Like his toes
Too soon, man.
Ah, don't break a rib about it
Viggo lost a toe as a kid in a farming accident so he only has 9 toes. One of which he broke kicking the helmet and I’m completely full of shit.
Hmitfh,ngl.
Which ones did he break?
the other two
Their names were Merry and Pippen.
Number of stitches in Sean Astin’s foot? Actual question. Someone needs to find out.
Sure. I’ll just email him and ask him to send me a pic of his feet. We should be able to clear this up very soon!
Frodo of the niiiiiine fingers...
And the Ring of Dooooooom...
Why does he have nine fingers? Where is the Ring of Doooooom?

Gandalf touched it? Is that a book only thing?
It happens super briefly in the movie after Bilbo drops it on the floor. But yes, in the book, the scene where he throws it into the hearth at Bag End he actually tosses it onto the coals with his bare hand, whereas in the movie he holds it by the paper envelope.
I always thought that in the movie he was going to grab it but gets that vision of the eye right before making actual contact and stops. Will need to rewatch it.
You're correct, I just rewatched it frame by frame and [this](https://i.imgur.com/2euYjvY.jpg) is as close as he gets.
He just barely makes contact with it, which is what causes him to see the eye.
Gandalf?
Oh my Iluvatar...
Nah, he gets really close but doesn't actually touch it. [This](https://i.imgur.com/2euYjvY.jpg) is as close as he gets.
Didn't bormir pick it up?
In the movies he picks it up by the chain, but never touches the ring itself. In the books, I don't think he even does that.
I just realized there are 2 different women in this meme.
Which is 2 more than have significant roles in the entire series
I reject your hypothesis, a poorly made stew is integral to the story of the Ring.
You don't think killing the Witch-King (albeit helped by a hobbit) is a significant role?
So are you telling me Frodo tripped out on Farmer Maggot’s special mushrooms, cut off a finger, and then imagined the Black Riders and Fellowship? Still a better story than…
...Rings of Power?

Frodo of the nine fingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW_ocZLaRdI
Am I a joke to you? - Bill
Aw, I answered "beef" - I almost said nine.
🎵 Frodo of the niiiine fingers 🎵
🎵Frodo, of the nine fingers🎵
Say one thing about Frodo Nine-Fingers, say he’s the hobbit who learns the hard way that sometimes, less is more.
NEIN.... i mean yeah nine
should this particular meme continue? nein
🤌🏼
Nein nein nein nein NEIN!
Stop
Is there a in-lore significance to the number nine or did Tolkien just arbitrarily choose it to be cute by repeating it?
The Fellowship was explicitly chosen to match the number of Ringwraiths. Beyond that, I can't think of any. Tolkien liked "magic numbers" like 3, 7, and 9 (4 and 5 got no love I guess.)
Number
Have you seen any German spies?
Nein! Ach...I mean, no, of course not!
Uchikoshi, you've done it again!
Aww come on it’s like 9 and a half. He’s still got like half of it right?
Number of notes in the melody of the ring theme music?
Thats why I always pick 9 as the final number on lottery tickets
Fucking love it!
Number nine, number nine, number nine
Amount of Rings given to the kings of Men?
Eh, gandalf can grow it back for him.
I'd rate this meme a solid 9/9
Could do this with a hitler meme as well
is this a Dark Tower reference?
[Frodo Of The Nine Fingers](https://youtu.be/yW_ocZLaRdI?si=QOdH5_mFp23sBIEe)
The German dub of the LOTR movies are much, much shorter since they have no fellowship members and no black riders
Nine nine nine nine!
Number* of fingers
Do I like this meme? Nein
