            I yelled this out during sex once. She wasn't a Zeppelin fan. Did not end well. For her. For me, it was awesome.

            Also, we never went out again.

                    Those sneaky Christians covertly slipping us the Jesus. But we don't see Jesus or the ice men around. Why do they sneak around and do stuff covertly? Do they think nobody knows? Odin and Jesus 2 myths in one, is that the moral to the story? What ever happened to Christian morals, where they use to be truthful and open?

                    Read up on early European mythology, then re-read American Gods. Or read it while keeping Wikipedia handy, you learn a lot of interesting stuff and get more out of the story.

                      Roughly 7 hours. And he didn't even learn a magical language while he did it, probably didn't have time.

                                    Twas the morning after the night before and the mighty thunder god, Thor, awoke to find a beautiful Valkyrie stirring at his side. He realise that she might not be aware she was in “the presence”, so he thought he better announce himself; “I am Thor” he thundered!

                                    She sleepily looked up at him and said; "You’re thor! I’m so thor I can hardly pith!"

                                      That's Thor, the Ice Giants all live in Jotunheim, and the end of the world (Ragnarok) will result in the destruction of most of the gods and the flooding of the world, and the rebirth of the god Baldr in a new paradise. Odin gets eaten by a giant wolf, Fenrir, who is killed by one of Odin's sons, Vidar, who pries open the wolf's jaws to stab him in the heart with a spear.

                                      ...Norse mythology is kind of awesome.

                                            If my Norse mythology lore is exact, Fenrir didn't eat Odin. He did ate Thor Tyr's hand tho. The gods challenge Fenrir to break free from some magic chain. To be sure he'd be free in case he fail, Fenrir ask for a guaranty. Thor Tyr offers to put in hand in Fenrir's mouth. The chain was strong enough to hold him, and the gods refuse to unleash him, so he bite off Thor Tyr's hand.

                                            I've read all this in the Prose Edda, by Snorri Sturlson. It is the second oldest source of Norse Mythodology (still available), and the only one I consider readable. Great read, you can grab it here : http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/pre/index.htm

                                            EDIT: I need to add, Norse mythology is awesome.

                                            correction: Fenrir ate Tyr's hand, not Thor's (different gods). There are so many different transliterations of the names that it gets confusing, but that is one distinction. Besides, if it were Thor that lost a hand, how would he be able to rip Jormungandr's tongue out and crush his skull with mjolnir at the same time a few verses later. That would leave a serious plot hole.

                                            TIL where the name of the town "Tyr's Hand" in Warcraft came from.

                                            It was a lot more apparent that WotLK was heavily influenced by Norse mythology, but Tyr's Hand has been around since Warcraft II, I believe.

                                            This just in: video games (and pretty much every creative endeavor ever) are derivative of some culture's mythology.

                                              Fenrir does kill Odin when Ragnarok happens.

                                              Fenrir eating Tyr's hand (Yes, not Thor - but his brother Tyr), happens before that.

                                                From my recollection and a quick Google search (one handed god), it was Tyr, the god of war, who's hand Fenrir ate.

                                                Just the same, Norse mythology is damn cool. I recall reading that it's one of the few cultures that had gods that could/would die.

                                                      The handle actually looks too long for it to be Mjolnr. Part of the lore is that the handle is so short, only Thor can handle the hammer when it is heated from battle.

                                                      The handle is short because of Loki interfering with its creation by transforming into a fly and preventing the dwarf Brokkr from continuously blowing air into the forge and so when it was completed the handle was shorter. The reason only Thor can wield it is purely because he is the only one strong enough to do so. Although, Magni, Thor's son and the god of strength, was said to be tho only other capable of lifting it.

                                                      The only thing I would add is that Loki was interfering in order to keep his head. He had made a bet that no one could craft something as beautiful or powerful as Odin's spear, Gungnir, and had wagered his head. Had Loki not caused the single flaw of Mjollnir, he would have lost his bet.

                                                      I may be mistaken or confusing it with a different story but I believe Loki did still lose the bet but he was able to weasel his way out of it through a loophole. He claimed the wager was for his head and his head alone not including his neck. Since they could think of no way to sever Loki's head without also removing a bit of neck he was able to get out of his end of the deal.

                                                      Thor is also capable of using it by wearing the gloves Járngreipr, and if I'm not mistaken, the strength to carry it comes from the belt Megingjörð which doubles Thor's strength.

He worried about Ragnarok constantly because it had been foretold that he would be killed then, along a good portion of all the other gods. But he never warred actively with the ice giants, or any of the other giants for that matter, at least not as far as I know.

Don't be so hard on yourself; despite drinking all that delicious mead and eating all the spoils of war, the vikings were in awesome shape. If you want to see some serious results maybe you should just pillage a little more?

Do not dare to question the wisdom or power of Odin, mortal man! Without my constant vigilance and valor, Jormungandr would consume us all!"

                                                                                            Errr.... When did Jesus say that?

                                                                                            The whole point of Christianity is learning to deal with the fact that we're all fuck ups. I realize a lot of people who call themselves "Christian" don't get that, but the point remains that Jesus was all about teaching people that they should atone for their fuck ups, not claiming that he would magically remove all the wicked people.

                                                                                            [–]qua_omsa_lajeeone 1 point2 points ago
