Conspiracy? Someone infiltrated the site and got to Odin. Had him post the "trap site" and then gets the names of everyone who attemps this. Who goes there will almost always try their own given name before their alias. Then you are had! Or, perhaps Odin is a foreign agent and his trip here next summer is a cover or recruitment campaign of some sorts. :eh:
Well my friend, that is definately more work then necessary to know who you are rest assured of that fact.

I think my head swelled but for just a moment. Half was the mythical giant, and baked was the rock.

I understood it was just a campaign from the Finnish Tourist Board. Resembles those sites where you can put your name up and they turn into Hillbilly. With names like Billy Bob Dingdong or whatever. The names do have a Finnish ring to them, for sure.
