who is Tom Bombadil | Not sure... but he is cool... |
but I have read some 20- 30 odd theories and blogs about whom he might be and all are pretty interesting, it is funny how a caracter which Tolkien actually did NOT make any big deal with he was just there, make people (geeks like me) lying at night thinking and not sleeping and philosophizing till the brain hurts and gets soar FRUSTRAITING

I will go with Tom from Tom and Jerry. It was wonderful to see such a piece of music art work that matches with the persuit... and in three episodes Tom wins... he rules...!!

I suppose ol' Peeping Tom isn't all that popular. Maybe only a step or two above that dude that was arrested in Peru. But it is also a Mike Patton band.
