Any metal that, when fashioned into a chain mail shirt, is worth the entire value of the Shire, is the preferred metal in my book. :D

Best poll ever! We are going to try to get my sister's boyfriend to watch Fellowship tonight because he has somehow managed to get by dating her for almost 4 years w/o ever seeing any of them! *gasp!* However he is a huge comic nerd and could prob. tell you unneeded amounts of info on Wolverine :D

I'm sad for Shobi. R and I will end up discussing this off and on all night, depending on which side either of us takes at any point.

I'm going mithril because it is supposed to be light, and I'm going to have to insist on lightness in my superstrong metals. I'd like to go adamantium, for the sheer cutting power (and because I could never decide between Wolverine and Gambit when it came to X-Men). But you really need the adamantium skeleton to carry it. Since I'm pretty certain I'm not in the running for any super-secret-government-experiments, I'll stay mithril. Besides, it shines pretty in the sun.

Mithril all the way, yo.

And if Shobi doesn't see that these things are important, I'm sad for him. :P
