Heck it still a dum thing it almost as bad as elves being short things with pointed hats and beards, IT A GNOME!!!!- sorry but these thing bug me, a creature is called an elf in one mythology but is something completely different in another. Some Mytholoyg would have trolls being about 4ft high and living under bridges but did he include that I don't think so. </font> AND I'm not complain that they live at night but that they turn to stone, come on what freaking biological fuction would that serve? What birare elvolution caused that, it dumb just plain dumb! ROFL! No, I didn't actually read that post! You have a very good point - but it sure would make them careful, lol! Unlikely to be caught out by Hobbit ruses, no matter how stupid they may be! BUT... just to offer mythology an excuse - many species not noted for brain power have very exclusive environs in which they can survive, and die pretty fast if they leave it: also not conducive to survival - but survive they do. Is it dumb-a$$ of the creatures who survive in the almost boiling waters around volcanic vents in the sea bed (they die in even slightly cooler water), or is it smart of nature to utilize every niche available? Trolls turning to stone in daylight is only another way of dying outside their niche, after all! [This message has been edited by Gabriel (edited 04-09-2001).]
