I've heard the argument from apologists that things like this occur because god was learning as he went along. Which of course negates infallibility, omniscience, and omnipotence. Might as well keep the Norse gods in that case.

Did you know that Loki is the mother of Sleipnir (Odin's horse)? Trans-gender furry cos-play has a long history.

Damn.  Sucks for them.  Even llamas can at least hum.  That gives me hours of entertainment at the fair:  humming back and forth with the juvenile llamas trying to get their llama mamas to find them.

Reminds me of the time when, working in the Antarctic right after dropping out of school where I had majored in Canadian government studies, I realized I was Antarctica's foremost authority on Canadian politics.
