Are there eight Hobbits in a hobbyte?

Oi Griff! Hobbits are Shire fantasy.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

I think you Took me too seriously: If you Burrows into the literature you find this is only a Gamgee, and anyway Hobbits are only a Proud Foot wide so they are easy to miss!

Some are several Proud Feet wide... or should that be Proud Foots?

This has The Ring of truth to it - but it's not that exciting.
Mithril is from weirder events. For example, the other day I was Shire I Saruman barefoot, with hairy toes.

With one Tolkien ring to bind them?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Tolkien Ring is so outdated; you should be using Ethereal Net!

May I remind you that the people of the Shire distrust new things?

Nice one!
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

In my (limited) experience, a significant factor in horse collision avoidance is velocity - a horse at gallop is actually quite clumsy and should be given a very large margin.
That said - the homing ability of a horse at pub closing time is truly life changing.

Wouldn't that depend on who was doing the drinking?

Our state of the art has finally advanced enough that we can (almost) duplicate one small part of a horse. Is this something to be proud of?

Not really. Over the years, I have met quite a few people that duplicate part of a horse. Nothing to brag about.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

I duplicated that part when I was twelve!

If you mean by that the rear end of the horse, we have had several millions of them ever since the dawn of humanity!

As one, who rode a lot, I can confirm, that horse will collide only with human intervention... A left alone horse will stop/wonder around/go home/create traffic jam, but never do harm...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

So what.. that's the first horse-sense law of self-driving cars? Stop, wander around, go home, create a traffic jam, but do no harm?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
