Medical Students Profile Middle-Earth's Gollum

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the he's-gotta-be-in-my-family-tree-somewhere dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Several medical students and a lecturer in 'old age psychiatry' have written up their analysis and final diagnosis of Gollum in the British Medical Journal. Other readers note the possibility of metal toxicity from the One Ring in their Rapid Responses." Hopefully everyone has had a few days off to 'Research' this by watching RotK's extended cut.

    He's a fictional character, who was written by a guy who can no longer talk. So you can't tell WHAT is wrong with him, because we have no evidence of it.

    So untill we can revive corpses, lets stop being silly.
