"Why are Hobbit doors round?"

Because a lot of Hobbits are round.

[Altair6]

Because Pythagoras wasn't a Hobbit but Pi was.

[Galadi]

After some calculations, measurements and a lot of feasting, the Institute of House Building of the Shire decided that because some hobbits are as wide as they are tall, round doors would be the best solution.

[Starliteyes]

So they can roll in the pumpkins! (Filled with victuals, of course)

Hobbit doors are Round cause there's a hole in the ground and cause hobbits are different

Why are Hobbit doors round?

That way you never feel guilty having second breakfast?

[TexanHobbit]

Hobbit doors are round so they can roll in to their hobbit holes after their outdoor picnics.

[Freyda]

In Hobbit construction, it's important to compensate for the weight of the earth on the structure. A round door? Well, it's simply more able to "bear the load".

[SnowCrasher]

Why are Hobbit doors round?

Obviously they are shaped like pies which hobbits just love so much!

[Geem]

Why are Hobbit holes round?

Why to accommodate their waist-bandwidth!!

[Macroscian]

It is just so obvious that *round* is exactly the right shape for a door.

Of course Hobbit doors are round.
Why? The question begs two answers.
A Hobbit door is round so that friends may enter together.
A Hobbit door is round so that friends with kegs come quicker.

[lostmymarbles]

Well..hobbits live in holes..holes are generally roundish.

[Rwraith]

"Why are Hobbit doors round?"

To accommodate the Hobbits big behinds.

[Hannariel]

Have you ever seen a hobbit after he/she was done eating a lot of pies?

[Thurallor]

Why are Man doors rectangular?

[Polymachos]

Well, they obviously like this song:

So they made round doors. To go round and round.


Greetings, Polymachos

[Emraneth]

Because Hobbits are round!

[jewahe]

"I'm not likely to grow anymore...except sideways."

[HexeWirga]

Why are Hobbit Doors round?

That's the Hobbit-Version from a Hole in one.

[Ospreyfeather]

For rolling. When too full to walk. Which could be often.

[lotroede]

Hobbit doors are round because the house is named a Hobbit-hole and a hole is normally round when you make a tunnel.
