The world is a very strange place:
An intruder received a taste of divine reckoning as he was chased from the Edinburgh flat he was breaking into by a man dressed as the Norse god Thor.
The housebreaker leapt from the first-floor window of the building to escape Torvald Alexander who was dressed-up for a New Year's fancy dress party.
Mr Alexander, 39, said the man may have been intimidated by the costume he made of the god of thunder out of tin foil.
[...]Mr Alexander said the man landed on a pitched roof outside the window which broke his fall, before making his escape.
He left behind his shoes and a pitch fork he used to break into the building.
Honestly, you can't make this stuff up.

I don't remember anything about Loki carrying a pitchfork.
- or maybe it was a trident, meaning that it was Poseidon who took a powder.
Perhaps it's time to reconsider that over-hasty rejection of tin-foil haberdashery...
That is awesome! It could have been Loki posing as Thor or Poseidon, because Loki is a troublemaker!
But mostly I think it's awesome.

heh heh heh....I'll see the wimpy intruder, and raise you two SCA Norsemen coming back from a figher practice in Denver, screaming "Blood for Odin!!!!" and whacking with battle-axes at a couple of would-be muggers. One of the muggers, let it be noted, actually visibly pissed himself. (Of course they both ran. Who wouldn't? But the pissing himself...nice.)
