Footnote: A quick lesson in Viking folklore: Andhrimnir is the cook in Valhalla that slaughters a boar named Saehrimnir every night to feed the Einherjer (the glorious warriors of the dead - literally translated means "the first warriors") when they are awoken. Oh yeah, and Loki is an adopted son of Odin - the all wise father of the Viking family of gods. Loki is a trickster and a shape-shifter (who often prefers the form of a dog) and the reason Odin has only one eye (re: the whole 'Well of Wisodom' business). OH! and BTW: The computer that Diskery is programd on is also named Odin.
