    It’s on the more correct and less silly danish Wikipedia: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor

    “dette var ligesom hans gnistrende øjne og mægtige stemme sandsynligvis en reference til tordenvejr”

    This was like his lightning eyes and mighty voice likely a reference to thunder.

    It’s silly to use Sweden as a reference, they are a silly people in a silly country. Unlike Denmark which contrary to what many believe is a way way different and superior not at all alike Scandinavian country.

    Also Denmark has Himmelbjerget (Sky mountain) Which is the place the Norse gods used to travel to earth using the burning rainbow bridge Bifrost. So clearly we were in closer contact.

    I’m kinda disappointed that he doesn’t create thunder with is hammer. I thought our school knew what the were teaching us :(

    Yes intuitively I think most would expect that’s how it works. After all Thors hammer Mjølner is the most powerful weapon of the gods. One would think it made some noise too?

      TIL. I’ll remember from this point on that the Swedes are silly geese

      Ok maybe I’m a silly swed, but to me the idea of a mountain in Denmark sounds really silly :)

        Our mountains are marvelous, you can walk all the way up, have a picnic and beer, and walk all the way down again in less than an hour, depending on how much beer you brought.

        Please explain how that is silly? There’s a reason the gods prefer himmelbjerget. 😀
