Fact of the Day: Mother Loki

In Norse mythology, Odin's horse Sleipnir was the son of Loki. Except Loki gave birth to him in the form of a female horse, making Loki his mother.

    I've only been interested in Greek mythology, but methinks it's time to read up on Norse mythology too....

    One of my favorite Norse myths! Oh Loki! That's what you get when you're a shapeshifter. Knocked up by a stallion.

    Hey Adam, you'll get a kick out of this! The funniest part is Loki's face when he sees the pregnancy test results:

    It took me a moment to work through the relationships! I was thinking Gandolf and Aragorn when I saw the photo! Have a happy week!
