You guys know that Razor didn't make that comic, right? It's a C&H strip.

I thought it was a DRAGON that ate the earth and the wolf ate odin...:p

I 'unno, I mainly got all my facts from random google searches while looking for something and from valkyrie profile, so I'm not too reliable, but that's what I remember.

No, Skoll eats the sun. Jormungandr doesn't eat the world per se, he just pretty much kills it.

hum, then there must be variations of the story.  I never heard of skoll actually.  and by dragon I meant the serpent of midgard.  what I read about norse (I think that stuff is norse) mythology of the wolf fenrir eating odin and the midgard serpent eating the planet after X number of years.  I 'unno, I'll have to google the name Jormungandr.  I'm curious about this...

i have 2 ideas on the end of the world

1. we will be invaded by evil alien monkeys.

2. humans wont die, the earth will but we will survive elsewhere.

oh and i think that is Norse by the way!

Jormungandr IS the midgard serpent. Skoll is the wolf that chases the horses of the chariot of the sun, chasing it around the world. When ragnarok comes, he manages to catch up and devour the sun, resulting in darkness.

skoll being the moon and the chariot being the sun? and I never knew the serpent had a name other than that actually.

this is the wierdest polite debate I've had in awhile. xD

This isn't a debate, you just aren't familiar with norse myth. Skoll isn't the moon, Skoll is a wolf that chases the sun. Hati chases the moon.

Wikipedia says
ZerokirbyX is right.

Also butts.

oh, well that answers all my questions.  In most mythology, something chases the sun and that's usually the moon, whether they're both chariots or what-not. xD

I totally wrote a piece on Ragnorok from Fenris' point of view for my creative writing class. Also: Super-AIDS. I didn't make that up. Someone (Who was in a lab coat) told me once about AIDS and the cold virus fusing together to create a virus with the strengths of both and the weaknesses of neither, IE, the effects of AIDS but spread through coughs. This could, I'm told, very easily destroy humanity.

Incidentally, here's a comic I did make a while ago which suddenly became relevant.
