Answer 2

Well I was always around old granny tales growing up. Stick a knife under the bed of a woman in labor and it will slice through the pain. A pregnant woman with morning sickness can crawl over her husband getting out of bed and she will give it to him. A woman menstruating should never be around if you are canning foods, she will ruin the whole batch. Making fudge only one person should stir or the fudge will be like eating sugar- you can feel the granules. Have a witch figurine in your kitchen and you will never burn anything. I could go on and on but This will give you an idea.

Answer 3

Yeth I know thum myths and thum mythsters too.
I am so very sorry, I just couldn't resist it.
The biggest myth I know is that:" Yahoo Answers is a good place to find answers."
It is not.
However, Goggle and Ask.com are much better and you don't have to worry about someone taking your points, not that they are good for anything.

Answer 8

Far too lazy to re-type the whole thing, so I'm cutting and pasting my answer to a different question:

Oooh, that's a tough one. Favorite? I'd have to say the story in Norse mythology in which Thor and Loki travel to the hall of Utgard-Loki (no relation to the first Loki). First off Thor, Loki and a couple of servant-kids that Thor picked up along the way spend the night in what they thought was a giant cave, only to discover the next morning that it was in fact the glove of a giant (and the deafening roaring noise they heard on and off all night was just the giant snoring nearby).

Thor tries to bash in the head of the giant with his hammer Mjolnir three times, but even with his mightiest attempt, the giant only stirs a little and asks if a bird perhaps shat on him from a tree overhead. Giving up, the group of four continues on to the hall of Utgard-Loki, where their host welcomes them but nevertheless manages to mock them subtly at every turn.

In an attempt to vindicate themselves, various members of the party are tested by (supposed) members of Utgard-Loki's household. Thor's servant-boy is made to race with another lad, but looses; Loki sets himself up in an eating match with a fellow called Logi, and looses also (Logi ate not only the meat that was set before them, but the bones and the trough in which they were placed).

Thor himself is confronted with several tasks (and I can't recall if I have these in the right order): he is given a horn full of mead and told that even the most feeble drinker in his household can drain it in no more than three draughts; Thor, taking three huge drinks, hardly seems to affect the level of mead in the horn.

He is also made, quite embarrassingly, to wrestle with an old woman named Elli, who, Utgard-Loki asserts, should present the mighty Thor with no problem. However, Elli wrestles Thor down on one knee in the end.

He is also asked if he can pick up a great white cat, which, his host assures him, can surely be accomplished. But, strain as he may, all that Thor can manage is to lift one of the cat's paws off of the ground.

After these apparently embarassing faliures, Thor and Loki and their servants are accepted and treated with the greatest hospitality at Utgard-Loki's hall. The next day, however, their host has some surprising news for them: the boy that was pitted in the race against Thor's servant was none other than Thought itself, and of course no man on foot can exceed the speed of Thought.

Loki was unable to beat Logi in the eating contest because Logi was actually Fire, and nothing is a match for Fire in consuming everything in its path.

Of Thor's tests, Utgard-Loki has this to say: The horn from which Thor was made to drink was actually connected to the sea, so it wasn't surprising that Thor couldn't drain it--although his attempts did register measurable, and produced what we know as tides. The old woman, Elli, was actually Old Age personified, and of course no man or god, no matter his strength, can resist the onslaught of Old Age. Utgard-Loki's entire household was in fact impressed that he was only brought down on one knee.

The white cat Thor was bidden to pick up was actually his old enemy, the Midgard Serpent, lying on the bottom of the sea--his hosts were alarmed indeed when he managed to do as much as lift one of the cat's paws from the ground.

Furthermore, the giant whose head Thor could not smash on their way to Utgard was in fact Utgard-Loki himself; he prevented Thor's hammer from harming him by deflecting its blows to a nearby mountain, and indeed the company had noticed three enormous depressions on that mountain as they had continued on their way.

Thor was so angered by the trickery that he had endured that he swung his mighty hammer at Utgard-Loki--but before he could strike, the giant disappeared, and Thor, Loki and their servants returned to Asgard.
