Middle-earth Conspiracy Theories

What was the real reason that Saruman allied himself with Sauron?
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak. Ataahua's stories

And if Balrogs have wings, and where the Nazgul came from,...come to think of it, I'd join Sauron's side too, since he has all the answers I seem to want.

Similar musical tastes: Both Saruman and Sauron were massive ska fans...

When Gandalf says "When did Saruman abandon Reason for Madness?" It's not often appreciated that this is a musical Reference* It's fun to imagine Saruman skanking around Orthanc to "One Step Beyond" * Except I can't think of an artist called "Reason". Bother.
~~~~~~ "nowimë I am in the West, Furincurunir to the Dwarves (or at least, to their best friend) and by other names in other lands. Mostly they just say 'Oh no it's him - look busy!' " Or "Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!" This year LOTR turns 60. The following image is my LOTR 60th anniversary party footer!
