What were Fëanor's crimes?
Is there any source for the rebellious words of Fëanor being considered a crime by the Valar or anyone else? For the deeds you provide source, like Mandos saying that this deed (drawing sword against brother) was unlawful. But I don't recall the Valar punishing words against them.

Why does the Joker do this to Bob?
The references I've seen are: 1.- the climax. 2.- pollution of chemicals in various cosmetics. 3.- Description of Joker's behavior and how it changes. Is yellow background the only way of referencing accepted here?

Sol Ⅲ = Earth: What is the origin of this planetary naming scheme?
"If you never heard of Earth, which helps you find it in your star map - the name "Earth", or "Sol III"?" My star map has a search box with auto-completion, Earth works better there.

Which Sci-Fi work first showed Nuclear Weapons?
@LincolnMan Indeed it is a predicate. It is also a prediction. The point though is that H.G. Well's prediction of the nuclear bomb was neither incorrect nor correct. It was a prediction with a certain degree of (in)accuracy. Much as Newton's gravity laws were not wrong just because later phenomena was discovered which did not adjust to them. They were a good description with a certain degree of accuracy which was surpassed by General relativity.

@LincolnMan Are you claiming that "If you cut your throat you'll die" is not a right prediction unless you actually cut your throat? That is not how logic works. A->B is right (meaning true) if A is false.

Why did Leia keep Organa as her last name?
@Adamant Indeed. Though... maybe they have the same naming conventions as certain Earth cultures. Here in Spain neither men nor women change any of our two surnames (more for nobility and royalty) when married.

I think you both are right. His prediction of how nuclear bombs would work was consistent and based on a wrong assumption.

Are the Valar vulnerable to the One Ring?
@AvnerShahar-Kashtan Both Saruman and Gandalf were Maiar as was Sauron. They were in the same league and it is normal to fear or be overpowered by enemies in your same league. Valar are in a higher league, Sauron's power stands no chance against the weakest of them.

Is there more to Arwen than her obsessive love for Aragorn?
Even Luthien, who was half Maia, had a hard time against Sauron. Only her cloak and Huan seem to have saved her. It's unlikely that Galadriel would have fared better in direct confrontation against Sauron.

Where did using "Luna" as the future name for the moon come from?
I am spanish and hear "prime time" way more often than "horario de máxima audiencia". In japanese ミルク (from english milk) is used very often despite having a native japanese word for milk: 牛乳. There was a time when using the french word Fin instead of the film's language word for The End was popular. These are know as loan words or loan expresions. It is not a strech to imagine a future where Luna is a loan word in english taken from spanish.

Did Ungoliant also had an eäla instead of a fëa? If so then, that would be the term I'm looking for.
