April 10, 201412 yr It's the day that was named after the Norse god Odin...:shrug: Well now it's Thursday...can you guess which Norse god Thursday was names after? Oh I didn't know that No idea :|
April 10, 201412 yr Haha! Okay, I'll tell you. Thursday was named after the god of thunder...THOR! :cool:
April 10, 201412 yr heyy that makes sense! The Dutch word for Thursday is literally thunderday so that means Friday is named after the God of freedom (because the dutch word vrijdag means freeday) :thinking:
April 11, 201412 yr But they're not the Dark Eyes I mean :| I downloaded 1 and 2 :wacky: and it confused me to death after 5 minutes :wreck:
April 12, 201412 yr heyy that makes sense! The Dutch word for Thursday is literally thunderday so that means Friday is named after the God of freedom (because the dutch word vrijdag means freeday) :thinking: Well, Friday is named after the Norse goddess Frigg...not sure if she has anything to do with freedom or not, though.
April 12, 201412 yr Well, Friday is named after the Norse goddess Frigg...not sure if she has anything to do with freedom or not, though. I always thought it was Freya :uhoh:
April 12, 201412 yr Just realised the size of my shoes: 42. WIN Sent via Tapatalk mine's 8 when I go shopping in the UK :smug:
April 12, 201412 yr I always thought it was Freya :uhoh:[/color] Hmm...I don't know, but here's something that I found on Wikipedia: In an academic paper published in 1996, Stephen Grundy, a researcher at the University of Uppsala, argued that Freyja and Frigg may have originally been the same deity. Noting that in the literature of the Viking Age the two were certainly described as separate figures, he highlighted a number of similarities between them; in mythology, both owned falcon cloaks that they lent to the trickster god Loki, and both owned jewellery obtained through unchaste behaviour. Grundy argued that these similarities would be consistent with the two having originally represented only a single deity before later diverging into two at some point before the Viking Age.
April 12, 201412 yr Well Freya makes more sense to me since Friday is fredag in the Scandinavian languages but yeah if it could be both, both is fine for me :)
April 12, 201412 yr mine's 8 when I go shopping in the UK :smug:[/color] I just checked and mine is 3,5 :disappointed: (36)
April 13, 201412 yr It's just madness Here there is a 4th size called "Brazil" (only for some shoes luckily) which is like the European but a bit bigger so, I'm 45; but in Brazilian I'm 43 :blank:
April 13, 201412 yr Clothes shopping is confusing. For men, there is no definition for sizes Medium, Large, XL etc, so an item of clothing can be Large in one shop, but could be a Medium or XL in another shop
