"The ragnar will be röking on Saturday when, according to some, the Viking calendar predicts the end of the world. Nordic folklore has it that after three freezing winters, when there have been no summers in between, the world will come to an end. The past two summers have been cold and wet, so declaring that Ragnarök (otherwise known as the Twilight of the Gods) is upon us is a subjective call

Well, I'm a bit bored today, so bring it on. |

Yeah, some notice would have been appreciated. I can think of some things I would like to have done this last week, and getting a cholesterol test nows seems a little moot. What are we supposed to do for this end-of-the-world? We're going to be fighting giants, right? Like the Ewoks? |

Im not sure austrailia is in Midgaard. Still waiting here in Vinland. |

Cyrus the Great has released Fenrir? That's like Osiris releasing the Kraken. Just confusing. |

That's like Osiris releasing the Kraken. Just confusing.
Especially since everyone knows that it was Poseidon who released the Kraken. Ron |

Haven't we trod this ground before with the Mayan calendar in 2012? |

Well, I caught a cold from the smog-level pollen count in my area, so if it's NOT the end of the world, it certainly is miserable enough to seem like it

Well, it's Sunday now. The world has ended and a new one been reborn in the branches of Yggdrasill. I really do wish that the papers had not printed this nonsense about the date of Ragnarok as fact, and that the Jorvik Viking Centre had not perpetrated it as a publicity stunt in the first place. Here's a couple of blog posts about Ragnarok and about the publicity stunt to put things back into perspective. link link |

Very dissappointed in Jorvik for sinking to these depths. |
Roderick Robertson | 23 Feb 2014 10:14 a.m. PST |
What is this "Winter" you talk of? We've been having lovely May weather here in California. |
14Bore | 23 Feb 2014 11:39 a.m. PST |
And we might be getting more snow on Tuesday. |

Woke up Sunday, no Fenris Wolf. Woke up this morning, no trolls or dragons. So I dragged my butt out of bed and went to work. This is the fourth end of the world in the last three years. I'm starting to think that folks might be wrong about this stuff. |
