Ragnarok

Because apparently we have yet another end of the world date to look forward to and laugh about come early next year

Daily Mirror[/url]"]Viking folklore had its own take on the apocalypse called Ragnarok which would involve gods smiting each other, the sky stained with poison and three freezing winters - so we're a third of the way there already.

Norse experts have calculated that the viking gods are going to start flinging magic hammers at each other on February 22 2014 as Thor's dad Odin gets mauled to death by a wolf which will get the ball rolling for the armageddon.

Skandinavian cultural boffins at York's Jorvik viking centre have heralded the beginning of the end by blowing a sacred war trumpet.

Mythology states that the god Heimdallr would blow the magical Gjallerhorn to warn of Ragnarok which means Doom of the Gods. This will alert Odin's sons like Thor to the battlefield.

Ancient Swedes, Danes and Norwegians believed that first a freezing winter would come, then all morality would disappear and fights would break out all over the world.

Then wolves would eat the sun and the moon and finally the daddy of gods Odin would bite the dust at the fangs of another lupine menace.

After Odin's demise, the world will sink into the sea but then rise again as a new utopia.

HAAAAAAAAA!
Comparing the midgard serpent to oarfish is laughable, it would eat them for breakfast!

Anyway, I'm sharpening my sword, oiling my chain mail and generally getting ready. Raise the heathen hammer high!

After that Týr will go on a world tour playing their album Ragnarok in its entirety.

Already saw them live, IMHO their music isn't meant for concerts...

Thank god we've come to our senses and worship a carpenter that died 2,000 years ago.
