New tool Yields Dwarfism Gene

The institute of Middle Earth Research released new findings from their Department of Dwarfology yesterday stating that Gimli's axe is the missing link between the Dwarfism gene and the Elvish gene. Head of Research a the Department, Gimli, states "Never trust an elf to do a Dwarf's Research. It's all in the beard." Gimli's axe was recently used in an emergency medical procedure involving a certain blonde elf who stole a certain pointy hat. The procedure resulted in the discovery of a certain gene that reverses Elf and Dwarf genes. "If a Elf touches the blade of my axe, their Elf gene will be reversed into a Dwarf gene, and vice versa," says Gimli, sporting a new-found height. "Welcome to my world, Elfie-Boy!"
