In the Norse mythic reality, earthquakes are caused by the thrashings of Loki, bound deep beneath the earth. See, he did so much shit that eventually the gods got tired of it. They turned one of his sons into a wolf and tied Loki to a rock with his son's guts. Then, Skadhi, who's always had a vengeful turn of mind, hung a snake over the whole mess, and the gods walked out.

Loki, then, is (theoretically) bound beneath the earth, with a snake dripping venom in his face. By his side, however, is his wife Sigyn, who catches the venom in a bowl.

Sometimes the bowl gets full, and Sigyn has to dump it. Then the venom drips in Loki's face, and the earth shakes.

Anyway, all that gruesome mythology was to bring you a funny one-liner:

Obviously, in Norseland, you passing your orals was so startling Sigyn dropped the bowl. ;)

Wow, a 4.5 too -- impressive!
