Frodo on top in ‘Periodic Table of Middle Earth’

Emil Johansson’s table includes hobbits, elves, men, and other races.

One my biggest disappointments with Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” was its failure to include Tom Bombadil, the immortal woodsman who is immune to the One Ring.

The character has a small but intriguing part in J.R.R. Tolkien’s trilogy, but of course there’s no room for him in a blockbuster film. Not so, however, with this very cool Periodic Table of Middle Earth, which replaces elements with earthly characters from LOTR and “The Hobbit.”

Bombadil has a place of pride in this Tolkien table, and sits opposite Frodo, who has replaced hydrogen in the periodic table from our world.
