"Where ere thou hast been, here or in yon world manifest? Canst thou tell what is, or what was, or what is to come? No thing shall last. Yet there are some things that will never change. History is written in blood, yet are battles really lost on the battlefield? Canst thou tell me where thou comest, and where thou goest, and what is, or what was, or what will be? For everything remains, AS IT NEVER WAS."
Me? I am mad, but at the naught-zie's "rayp" of my ancestors culture. Even Mjollnir is tied to naught-zieism. And now, when there are references made to that culture in modern culture, the first thing that apparently springs to mind is naught-zies... It's a little angering (well, more than a little,) but not directed at anyone here. More my culture hanging by threads.
When I first saw that we were wearing MJOLNIR armor in Halo, I was ecstatic. To wear the mighty hammer of Thor! And when I saw that the Spartan Laser - which rarely misses - took it's name from Gungnir, the spear of Odin, I felt much the same.
I can only hope that more people take the Nordic culture from the references, not the thieves who stole and defiled it.
