It was a rather witty pun if you ask me. Shae, that thing in the naked thread that I performed had to be done by you, not me! *grins*
May I see a picture of yours? *looks at her pleadingly*

..hmm, let me see...school, thats my favorite hobby. I just adore schoolwork, and spend all my time studying, whenver possible.  Yeah right, that'll be the day...while I'm an extremely uninteresting guy, even I don't do that, hehe (don't look at me like that!)...
...well I guess my number one priority is to figure out some amazing way that allows to to get more than my regular 6 hours of sleep a day, and then sleeping in on the weekends for around 11 hours, and flushing all my time down the toilet...
...well besides that, whenever I have that time, since I'm not a very sociable guy (in person) what I prefer is to play computer games (I'de play em all, except for most simulations, and most first-person shooters, or those puzzles, and such types)...and I just love reading, although with my schedule, time doesn't allow for that very often (I prefer fantasy novels above all else)...and anything to do with programming (although my personal knowledge is limited, I'm always willing to learn  )...I like to watch TV (cartoons are awesome!  ) and maybe go to see a new movie one a month or two...oh, and I write poetry on occassion (rarely ever write anything else unless class demands it of me) especially when I don't have free access to the computer or the net...
...hmm, and while I enjoy listening to music (a variety is nice, but nothing beats gold 'ol classical) I also play the violin and piano...I guess thats not exactly a hobby, but since I spend a great deal of time with it, and usually enjoy myself, I guess it counts 
...oh, and I love to eat junkfood as well as fine cuisine...food is delicious...you've never really lived until you've tried every kind of food there is...so I guess in a way, nobody's ever truly fully lived then ...I kinda envy proffessional food tasters somewhat I suppose...so I guses I try to eat nonstop, whenever anything is lying around...'guess its a good thing for me, that I never seem to gain any weight no matter what I eat...my...er, mass fluxuates up and down, but it usually goes back to normal
...so with that, I enjoy cooking sometimes too...although I'm usually the only one who eats it, which I guess is for the best, because I know what I like, and I cook accordingly

I agree with Shae in the sense that having many interests is a good thing because it allows you to have interesting conversations with almost anybody.
I find almost anything to be interesting - or there are some aspects of anything that are interesting I should say.
I just never have enough time in a day for all of my various interests.

The conception of the seven deadly sins is so interesting and so is the Greek mythology. Once I tried to count Zeus' children. I counted them 8... I wonder how many they are in fact. Terry Pratchet is great too! First I thought they bought the books because they were wacky. Now I have a different opinion. How's your favourite god/dess from the mythology?

Odin (from Norse Mythology)
The reason why i like him,.... hmm.. i'll make it simple..
He is the Alfadir, Allfather of all Norse Gods. And he is indeed a god of war and death, but also the god of poetry and wisdom. He also have Gungnir, the spear which never misses its target, the ring Draupnir, from which every ninth night eight new rings appear, and his eight-footed steed Sleipnir.
But it is too bad that finally he is defeated by the giant wolf Fenrir in Ragnarok.

Norse mythology?
Yes, the 13 gods as far as I remember. I myself like Loki most (is I got the spelling right). I remember a book where he had an amazing sense of humor.

Cartoon based on Norse Mythology ?
Hey wow Preserver! How lucky you are =) I wish you can tell me the title of that cartoon series.. =)
Ahhh.. yes David Ryan...
Loki is the major deities in the Norse pantheon. Im agreed with you. Loki is cool. He is the Sly One, a good Shape Changer.

you are the expert you should know... Don't know what it's called in english, but on Danish it's called "Midgårdsormen". It's somekind of wurm so big, that it's able to lay around the world (midgård) and bite itself in the tail. One time Thor was fishing for it but it didn't worked so well I think... The ase you se on the picture is Tyr. He has pointy ears because he's half ase half jætte (what do you call that in english? Jætte = the giants living in Udgård)...

I believe the English equivalent is Urobouros. Well...it's not English, (it's Greek) but you get the idea, right?

Sure, but I meant the english name for the norse word... the dictionary just say giant, but I'm sure there's more specific name for it...
