Just saw this and thought of you lot! A new minor planet near Neptune needs a name and the Astronomical Union are receptive to public opinion on what it should be called. They've narrowed it down to a shortlist of three - and no, Planet McPlanet Face is not one! Options are Gonggong, Holle or Vili: >Gonggong is a Chinese water god with red hair and a serpent-like tail. He is known for creating chaos, causing flooding, and tilting the Earth. >Holle is a European winter goddess of fertility, rebirth, and women, while Vili is a Nordic deity who defeated frost giant Ymir and used the body to create the universe From BBC news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-47920406 What gets your vote and why?

I just want to point out that Vili shouldnt alone be credited for defeating Ymer. All 3 brothers, Vili (Vile), Odin (Oden) and Ve participated in the defeat of Ymer.When Odin left Asgard and left his brothers to rule, they both slept with Odins wife Frigg. Its not known if they did at the same time , but the act of sleeping with your brothers wife, and betraying his trust, i think resonates well with the deception-part of Neptune and therefore Vile gets my vote IP: Logged |
