Magic dwarf hand, my Asgard…

I don’t think the hand has any apps at all, Hamhock; it does make it hard for him to get through the metal detectors at the airport. It’s also dangerous to have around strong magnets.

No matter what, you do have to hand it to him.

The hand doesn’t go dead if you hold it a certain way.

This is a repeat from January 2008. Thought I’d seen it before.

Getting tricked into sticking your hand in Fenris’s mouth doesn’t really count as saving Asgard…

@KaminoNeko: Read the myth — It wasn’t he that was tricked; the wolf didn’t trust the gods (rightly) and demanded someone put their right hand in his mouth as a guarantee that he’d be let go (not letting him go was the point & Tyr knew it) so Tyr let him bite off his swordhand to have him bound instead of roaming the city at will.
dbethke_1959 you’re right — 2008-01-13; it did look familiar ☺

Wi-Fi? Is that as dependable and universal as phones at the turn of the 20th century?

Forged in the bowels of the earth may explain why most myths are full of bowel stuff. Unlike the new iPhone I suspect the hand actually works well.

It wasn’t just Asgard, it was the world.
