Probably best this way. I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t looking forward to Polar Bear Wrestling and the Ordeal of the Flaming Log (see last week’s cartoons).
Planetary Colonization Schedule:
Moon Base – 2015.
Mars Base, Venus Base – 2020 (two teams, friendly competition; first team who makes it gets a year of free oxygen).
Jupiter Base, Mercury Base – 2025 (establishing colonies on moons of gaseous giants counts as success).
Saturn Base – 2030.
Uranus Base – 2035.
Neptune Base – 2040.
Pluto Base (Pluto is still a planet) – 2045.
Planet X – 2050. Bonus points for killing Rodan.
Let’s get it on!
The Ordeal of the Flaming Log. Giant Baiting. Polar Bear Wrestling. Trial by Liquid Metal. I will leave the details of these ominous tests to your imagination!
No television for the physically unfit? I think the idea may have some merit, at least for those of us who don’t have a medical excuse. I mean, a good medical excuse. Seems like everyone has a medical excuse nowadays for just about everything. Fortunately, I don’t watch television, so I can continue to eat Cheez-Its on the couch while reading comic books. Wait a sec — I don’t have a couch either. I only wish I was lying to you!
More laws on Thursday. They only get worse from here.
Woohoo! New laws for humanity coming soon. Finally, a reason to climb out of the muck! Order and meaning are just around the corner. Tune in next week, let’s see what Odin has in store…
You gotta admit, there are a lot of parking lots down here! I’ll leave it to you to figure out which one-out-of-three Odin is talking about, but just so you know, he doesn’t drive a car and giant hunting isn’t a spectator sport.
Baldur is excited… finally, he and his father agree on something: the royal wedding was a supreme waste of human effort. But Odin actually found the entire affair quite interesting. Especially all that fancy pants jewelry and sneak peeks inside the castle. Soon he’s going to raid that place and make that loot his own!
The Norse spirit of discovery extends beyond just sailing boats to strange new lands. The Odin described in the Eddas quested ceaselessly for knowledge and wisdom as well.
Odin sought knowledge using all manner of methods to increase his store. Every day his two ravens would search the world for new information, while Odin himself surveyed the affairs of the entire world from his throne, Hlidskialf.
Odin’s quest for wisdom knows no equal. He placed so much value in its attainment that he exchanged one of his eyes for it at the Well of Mimir.
No wonder nowadays he has so little patience for humans who turn their backs on knowledge. When Odin of old wasn’t clobbering giants and stirring up trouble amongst kings, he was being absolutely ruthless in seeking to understand the laws of the universe.
