HOWEVER with the time awake early I trimmed my fingernails, an important contribution to preventing the end of the world, since as we all know, the Jotnar can't sail into Asgard on a ship of dead men's nails if you keep your nails properly trimmed.

This is neither a reference to certain religions' take on politics, nor is it a setup for fanfic where Thor tracks down the source of nails and discovers Utgard-Loki's link to the ahiuzotl.

Yes /but/ what if the translation isn't accurate, and it's just "dead (human) nails", which means everyone everywhere is contributing by trimming? That'd make a pretty big ship.

I'm just going to stop cutting mine forever, just in case. :-P
