I was going to bring that up myself, but i have been trying not to get involved in this. A far better creation story if I ever heard one, and since most Norse myth is designed to teach morality and philosophy rather than to explain nature and enslave the minds of the feeble to a dictatorial institution, I would be much happier having it taught in schools. Especially the bit about insubstantial things being stronger than substantial things, and it is the insubstantial things that are able to chain back Fenris. Good stuff, thanks 'Scoff.
