Race, Question
Tuor

Well, I've given some thought to this, and I believe if I could chose my race of creature, I think I would stay a human. I am way too adventurous to be a hobbit, not to mention I would completely shatter their record for tallest hobbit. And I don't much care for living underground, plus no one is certain about what happens to them when they die, so dwarfs are out. I suppose I could stand to be an elf, but what Danny said about mortality swayed me away from them. Then, I considered maybe a dragon. You have to admit, there are some good qualities to that. Assuming you are an Uroloki, like Smaug, you can both fly and breathe fire, plus be extremely cunning. But, creatures are afraid of you, which means no friends. And eventually there will be someone who will kill you, probably a man, because that's what happens to every dragon in every story. So, yeah, humans.

Second, I'm pretty sure this was asked quite a while earlier, but the Huorns are allegedly in the Extended Editon, right? That was one of the things I was most disappointed about when I first saw Two Towers.
