Are Hobbits Real?

[Chris]

When I was a kid, I seriously thought that Hobbits were real. But then again, I also wanted to attend Hogwarts and be a Blitzball superstar, so...

Things you thought were real, but aren't. :(

[Night Fury]

Hobbits are real, and so is Hogwarts.

[Pike]

I thought Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were real until I was about 15.

[Jinx]

I'm about as close to a real life Hobbit as you can get.

[Chris]

At least you're not a bearded Dwarf.

[Night Fury]

Sam for Hairiest Feet Ciddie.

[zx12y]

I seriously raised my hand and asked if hobbits are real in 6th grade. Teacher basically said "maybe".

[Jinx]

Sam for Hairiest Feet Ciddie.

This is probably too close to the truth. :(

[Pumpkin]

I thought Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were real until I was about 15.

But they are :confused:

[Pheesh]

When I was younger I wrote a letter to Hogwarts asking why I hadn't received my letter of acceptance, positive that they had made some kind of mistake.

[Mahad]

I thought my version of Santa was real.
I also thought ghosts were real.

[DMKA]

At least you're not a bearded Dwarf.

But they're smexy.

[Psychotic]

I used to believe in Canada until the age of about 14.

[Pike]

I used to believe in Canada until the age of about 14.

I still don't believe in Wales.

[Psychotic]

I justify that one because otherwise there would be no answer to the question "Where do sheep come from?"

Yep. Me too. I'm hella short. Just no hairy feet going on.

The toothfairy that visited me was no jip. I got $20 for each tooth instead of a quarter.

I still think mermaids exist. And ghosts. ;p

EDIT:

There was a species of humans discovered in Indonesia that were nicknamed "Hobbits" back in 2003. They grew to be around 3'7".

[Jinx]

It's not just about being short, NS. It's much, much more than that.

[Shauna]

Do you enjoy the occasional second breakfast?

[noxious.sunshine]

Oh is it? Enlighten me?

lolz ... I do enjoy the occasional second breakfast. And beer. But i'm not on a quest for a ring.... Oh wait. I could be. Just not going to Mordor for that ish.

[Jinx]

It's all about the hobbit way of life.

Shauna's on the right track.

[Pike]

I justify that one because otherwise there would be no answer to the question "Where do sheep come from?"

New Zealand, obviously.

I'm sure BoB can fill us in on the details.

[Psychotic]

New Zealand has only existed for 32 years though. Where did the sheep come from before then?!

[Pike]

Damn, you're right. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE ANYMORE

[Denmark]

Where did the sheep come from before then?!

Wales or Scotland, I thought

[Mirage]

Do you enjoy the occasional second breakfast?

We have second breakfasts every day at work. I am not kidding.

[Jinx]

I'm American. I eat second breakfast all the time.

[Chris]

Sam, I always thought you were from suburban London :confused:

[Pike]

We ruled out Wales as not existing earlier in the thread. STEP IT UP

[Pheesh]

Don't start down this path, because if we start saying crazy things like "New Zealand is real" then we're officially saying "Hobbits and Ents and BoB's are real." It's a can of worms, I tell ya.

[Jinx]

Sam, I always thought you were from suburban London :confused:

are u serious right now

[Sephex]

Sam, I always thought you were from suburban London :confused:

This is what happens when you talk about Doctor Who too much, Sam. Go eat your tea and crumpets now. ****, man...white people.

When I saw the thread title, I thought it was going to be about new discoveries of human evolutionary history (http://io9.com/a-long-anthropological-debate-may-be-on-the-cusp-of-res-512864731), which suggest that there was a human-like dwarf species in existence for some time.

So yes, hobbits were real, but they died out because of their shortness and hairy feet and their home being destroyed by Sauron's forces.

[Aulayna]

Some of my teachers from back when I was at school are living proof that Hobbits are real.

Actually it was Saruman who destroyed our home. :shobon:

[Tardar Sauce]

They were... until I got ahold of them.

[Unbreakable Will]

I used to think I was real.

My dad got a load of mince out of the freezer and told me it was dinosaur meat.

Genuinely believed him.

Reminded me of this xD (http://youtu.be/mMLRg8xSgjs?t=1m22s)

[Shlup]

My husband is clearly a descendant of Hobbits. Just look at his feet and you will know that Hobbits were at least real at one time.

[Mirage]

When I was in 5th grade, I asked my teacher if quantum mechanics were real.

[noxious.sunshine]

So I'm still not clssified as a hobbit?

[Shorty]

Danny DeVito is a real life example that hobbits walk among us daily.

It's a can of worms, I tell ya.Yeah, come on. We found out a few years ago that BoB is a bot. We had to just recently step him down from staff for a week to do some maintenance.

[noxious.sunshine]

Add Joe Pesci to that list. Ha!

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Canada is real. :(
