If anything those crocodiles should be really loving happy. Their great ancestral foe finally laid low.

the norse and greek mythos are probably part of the same culture when you go back far enough, its just the minoan society developed a written language and the norse had to uh, receive theirs from mediterranean invasion

It's really difficult to know because such a tremendous amount of Norse legend was lost. When you see how little the current understanding of the myths is based on, it's pretty shocking. I've read the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda and between those two, it's obvious modern-day interpretation has inserted a lot of its own culture into the gaps. Also the few surviving records contradict, a lot.

Thor and Baldr are his two legitimate sons by Frigga.

Vidarr was the son of Odin and Gridr. Vali was the son of Odin and Rindr.

I imagine he'd have gotten into even more trouble if they'd had Tindr back then.

As Jason Blevins of the Denver Post explains, the international field for ladies’ halfpipe is not exceedingly deep. Qualifying for the Olympics involves recording a certain number of top-30 finishes in qualifying events and many of these events don’t even feature 30 people.

So Swaney burned up the globe, attending qualifiers in places like China, South Korea, Italy, Canada and New Zealand. After initially representing Venezuela in these events, Swaney claimed Hungarian ties through her grandparents. And thanks to a system of quotas, she eventually qualified for the Olympics, despite never attempting a single trick above the deck. Her best finish was 13th out of 15 competitors in China when most of the good freestyle skiers were competing at the same time in the United States.

“She would compete in them consistently over the last couple years and sometimes girls would crash so she would not end up dead last,” FIS judge Steele Spence told the Denver Post. “There are going to be changes to world cup quotas and qualifying to be eligible for the Olympics. Those things are in the works so technically you need to qualify up through the system.”

Yo, honestly, she has expended the smallest amount of effort possible to go out and gently caress a bunch of olympians and I think that makes her a hero.

Phanatic posted:

It's pretty wonderful. She identified what she needed to do to qualify and went out and did it.

As the line goes, 80% of success is just showing up.
