Mmm, Ask and Embla; ash and elm; the first people. Fitting that they should mark you so on Óðinsdagr.

Agh. You're right.

And you've reminded me of this filk of the Christian song "Green Grow the Rushes Oh" (http://cunnan.sca.org.au/wiki/Lindisfarne_%28Song%29) which refers to the raiding and destruction of the Holy Isle of Lindisfarne, presumably by Vikings or similar.

Modern day viking worship is a noteable thing in Marvel Comics.
