Greek mythology has always fascinated me, the roman one is basically the same as the greek with different names.

If I didn't vote Norse, I'd forfeit all rights to my forum name.

A hundred years isn't long when you're dead, tbh. Restlessly? That just means partying with the other poor people who couldn't pay for 100 years straight.TheAussieReaper wrote:
And you also have one of my favourite death rituals:
The ferryman of the Underworld river. Charon's only duty was to ferry the shades across the Underworld river of Styx. Charon required only fare of one coin (obol) from each shade, to ferry the dead across. It was Greek custom to put a coin in the dead, before burial. The others, who couldn't pay, would wander restlessly for over hundred years before allowed across.
They didn't teach him Greek mythology isn't the same as Roman. They thought him Caesar was cousin of Zeus and that Hercules was dating Cleopatra.Metal-Eater-GR wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

The Romans couldn't even get bothered to create new gods so just changed their names.
LOL not the same. Not even close.aerodynamic wrote:

I'm the same. Egyptian always used to be my favourite but then after I saw the Asgard in SG-1 they switched positions.max wrote:

Roman gods were presented more distant than greek gods, and they behaved differently. The way people worshiped them differed aswell..Sup wrote:

Hmm, I wonder...
I always thought Greek mythology was the best (hence my name), followed closely by Roman.
And Aries is Mars (I think), and Pluto is Hades, etc...
But if we're going to consider them the same, I like the Egyptian mythology too. They had a God for...everything. Native Americans too.
That being said, Norse ftw! It's in my blood.
And it's spelled Mjölnir. Icelandic has remained unchanged for almost 1000 years and we spell it Mjölnir so we must be right.

"Norse"?! We finns were the last ones to cross over to Christigaynity, and we're not even mentioned?!
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
nah, cos u suckFreezer7Pro wrote:

Not where I'm from. We have Æ Ø and Å in our alphabet and since Norse basicly is from Scandinavia (or Norway) it's MJØLNER!thraSK wrote:
