LOTR crackpot theories:

3. Boromir uses the ring, saves Gondor, destroys Sauron and becomes a wise and benevolent ruler. Book ends 40 chapters sooner.

this would have been a MASTER plot twist.

4. Orc-slaughter competition between Legolas and Gimli becomes so fierce, they take to killing some of the smaller, uglier men of Gondor.

This should be made into a spoof.

There's a pretty good spoof on www.ifilm.com with the ring as a prince albert.
