    That was very entertaining, Pyske.

    I guess that Loki would be my fav Norse god, if I had a fav.

    I enjoy a hobby called miniature wargaming; and one of my oldest figurines is a bannerette on horse (and a dismounted figure on foot too) who has a barrel helm sporting "Loki" horns: inverted "L"s on either side of his helm, with the horizontal bars angled outwards. I suppose, in the light of what you said about Loki being a god of Chaos, that the inverted initial "L" has some significance as representing that.
