• Description: The immortal ruler of the Norse gods. Otherwise known as the "All-Father"...for a good reason. With Frigg, Odin fathered Balder, Tyr, Hod, Hermod and Bragi. With the goddess Jord, he fathered Thor, and then with the giantess Gridr, he had yet another son--Vidar. Odin was obviously the epitome of godhood in power, status, and libido. There's just one problem with all that--dealing with powerful, immortal children going through their growing pains is tough. Just one would be a challenge, two would no doubt be a pain, but seven? That's insane. And I didn't even stop there...I manipulated my own personal vision of Norse mythology to make Loki a child and put him under Odin's care. Even if you're a god, that's a lot of brats to handle. No wonder Odin has white hair.
• Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Eggs are for breakfast, which is the first meal of the day, so I'm going with eggs. But then, I had chicken for breakfast once, but it's usually eggs. So yeah, eggs.
