Drunk norse mythology

Um... Why eight legs? Is that just a byproduct of a horse having his way with a god disguised as a mare?

Aside from that, I'm just friggin' shocked at how accurate that all was. Not that I'm some expert on Norse mythology, but as soon as I finished watching it, I went and did some research. Goddamn Norse mythology is weird. Though then again, isn't all mythology?

Hell though, sometimes you gotta wonder - are there any ancient mythologies that started out as jokes? You know, like modern-day Flying Spaghetti Monster worship and Discordianism? Might one day future generations look upon the religions created by our culture and say "People actually used to believe this nonsense?"

All of Loki's children seem to have come out a bit freakish, so it's probably just a product of his DNA.
