@ManishEarth Verizon ... I stopped reading there. I'll just assume it's something about their pretentious support, right?

After you hear this one you'll stop having ANY expectations from Verizon

I've seen that :p

I'm in that, at the bottom.

Apparently the Nazis fought in my name, in a parallel universe.

@Polynomial Well, they've gotta fight for something, I guess.

Speaking of religion, how the fuck is everyone not just Norse?

that is a badass religion.

@Polynomial Some of us are just too lazy.

"Thus he (Odin) established by law that all dead men should be burned, and their belongings laid with them upon the pile, and the ashes be cast into the sea or buried in the earth. Thus, said he, every one will come to Valhalla with the riches he had with him upon the pile; and he would also enjoy whatever he himself had buried in the earth."

YOU GET BURNED ON A GIANT PILE OF LOGS WHEN YOU DIE.

the smoke carries you to Valhalla where you prepare for the final glorious battle.

what isn't to like?

and you know what happens at the funeral?

@Polynomial No explosions, boobies, or even donuts?!

Ritual drinking contest.

@DavidFreitag What makes you think there are none of that? Explosions in the final glorious battle, definitely plenty of boobies in Valhalla, and donuts? hmm, well roast hogs shall suffice.

"On the seventh day after the person had died, people celebrated the sjaund (the word both for the funeral ale and the feast, since it involved a ritual drinking). The funeral ale was a way of socially demarcating the case of death. It was only after drinking the funeral ale that the heirs could rightfully claim their inheritance."

@Polynomial A ham donut? I think I can feel my arteries clogging already.

IDGAF if it's all made up bullshit, it's metal as fuck.

I think wanting to convert to a specific religion just because I'm starving is probably not the best idea.

But hey, there will probably be some pillaging

@DavidFreitag "I have bacon in, but I'm Jewish... I suppose I could turn Christian for a half hour... hmm, a moral conundrum."

@Polynomial Something like that, more beer and roasted hogs though.
