Gorgeous. That doesn't look right. It is. Thank you spellcheck. Fuck you self-fooling mind.

I hate to be the american guy that asks "what does it mean lolz" but what does it mean lolz

disregard that comment, i did some research with my books and figured it out. one small step for Max.
 
Uhhh, so like, what do it mean? All I can find are pages about Jörmundur Ingi, whoever he is.
 
Right, thats what I figured. Adrian, if you haven't figured it out yet - Jormundgand is the son of Loki and some Giant (whose name escapes me) - Odin and the rest of the gods thought that it would be evil one day, so he threw it into the ocean. It grew very large, as expected, and thats why they called it the Midgard Serpent (or the World Serpent).
 
Its quite possible.. I'll have to do more studying! Apparently Thor and Jormundgand are going to kill each other at Ragnarok.
 
Yep, you're right, don't study just ask the real vikings ROARGH!! Yep, Thor and Jormundgand kills eachother at Ragnarök (Thor smiteth the Serpent with his hammer but he had gotten bitten and takes nine steps before the poison kills him off), and Odin gets killed by Garm who in turn is slain by Vidar (By snapping his jaw, it reaches from the ground up to the sky but Vidar has kickass shoes made of all excess leather in the world so he doesn't cut his feet), Fenrir and Tyr kill eachother etc etc
 
Wicked awesome. :cool:

Ragnarok is probably the best thing ever, and I'm not just saying that.

I am proud to know more about this stuff than 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of Americans.
 
I'm a big culturalist, and I see it as a huge fucking problem that the USA is a big melting pot of cultures and people. When all the mixing began, culture ceased. I mean, we fucking kicked and out killed the natives of North America for THIS? Bullshit. My blood comes entirely from Germanic countries, and this is my culture, no matter what anyone says or tries to get me to believe.

There is still a lot of culture in some big cities, like San Francisco and Los Angeles. On the whole the US doesn't have a real distinct culture, but we do have Jack Kerouac and Frank Zappa. :)

I know I'm just generalizing. But if you think about it-

In Sweden, there are mostly swedes, with swedish blood.
In Norway, there are mostly norwegians, with norwegian blood.
In Ireland, there are mostly the Irish, with irish blood.
In Japan, there are mostly the Japanese, with Japanes Blood.
In America, there are mostly the WTF, with WTF blood.
 
And in France there are mostly Arabs. :loco:

I like cultural diversity, at the very least it means I can bang women from around the globe without having to travel very far.
