Are Orcs immortal?
Let us take an example of an average Orc.

Note the pointy ears. The sharp nose and the witty look in the eyes!

Note the lack of facial hair....

The oval, dome shape of the head..........
Whatever does this remind you of?
"Why....it reminds us of an Elf."
Elves are immortal.

Humans aren't.

What happens if you cross Elves with Humans? Well, let us take the positive and the negative elements into consideration.

According to 'The naked ape' and 'star trek' pointed ears are a sign of further advancement in evolution.
This means, for the uneducated amongst us, that the pointy ears are the postive trait, leading to a better 'version' of the creature. (note: obviously one creature isn't better than another....that'd be silly. But better as in......not as bad as).

Don't be fooled by the imbecils who shout: "That's the dominant trait then you sad pathetic twat!"
For they are mistaken. They know not of what they speak. They should busy themselves with sand castles, tri-cycles and US politics.

so, the pointed ears are the positive trait, and the unpointy ears, or earrus flattus to use the Latin term, are the negative trait. (don't listen to them!)
At one point the elves went out and raped female orcs. Some people blame the Orcs. But that was never proven! There was no jury, the judges were under political pressure and you can't pin a case on a piece of clothing, or the jibberings of some native shop keeper.

But anyway, the two met in unholy matrimony and multiplied!  
Now...what happens when you mulitply? Negative X positive = ............


Negative! That's right. The Orcs got the pointy ears and became mortal!!!
