What if hobbit has a filling?

I say we cut the bones up to divide them among however many people who want to get their hands on them. King Solomon used the same solution and it worked out quite well. Both women were perfectly happy with their half of the baby. I'm sure it will work in this case also.

Don't you have that a bit mixed up?
As I recall the real mother agreed to let the other woman have the whole baby rather than cut it in half.

No, you're wrong. God gave Solomon wisdom above all wisdom. And the wisest thing to do at the time was to make a compromise. Both women claimed to be the mother of the child. The obvious compromise was to cut the child in half and give each woman the half child. Both women were more than happy for their fair share.God also gave the founders of our country the wisdom to compromise. One example of this great wisdom was the 3/5 compromise.

Maybe by the same token, anyone who really cares about the artifact would allow others to analyze it.

In this situation, the best thing to do is compromise. We cut the bones up to pieces and hand them to the people who want them. Everyone gets a fair share.

LOLOk, sorry if that wasn't obvious. I meant it as a joke. I think the story about Solomon wanting to see who the real mother was is well known enough that people would see my joke. Then of course you could also consider me a sociopathic monster that would actually believe cutting a kid in half is wise It's like 'A Modest Proposal' by Swift. You could either assume he was a monster for suggesting supermarketing little kids or you could take it as a satire.Edited by teen4christ, : No reason given.

Anyway this is getting a tad off topic now so we had better stop.

That's ok. It's not like we're taking up valuable space in a very popular and active thread. LOL
