The evolution of elves.

Here's a funny article from Cracked.

Some language slightly NSFW, but I got a kick out of it.

"The major elves appear to have taken control of their image during the unfortunate rise of tabletop gaming. Recent investigations suggest that Titania and Oberon approached Gary Gygax while he was making the first editions of Dungeons and Dragons, pushing for their inclusion as a noble race of spell-wielding badasses in return for the occasional rendezvous with an elf maiden"

Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Quite understandable how that would work...

Quote:
Perhaps afraid that they would appear anemic and effeminate next to these behemoths, the elves have taken the Scott "Carrot Top" Thompson approach to overcompensation, packing on unnecessary bulk to become something that looks more "cave troll" than "Legolas" (read "gay").

In fact, the only thing that seems to be carried over from their woodland origins is a pair of pointy ears that have now been so damaged by the steroid use that they have grown out of all control. We can only assume that their HGH abuse is the cause of those eyebrows as well.
