My wife had a German Shepherd named Thor when she was a kid. I'm betting her older brother named it after the superhero.

When I was a kid we had a neighbor who named his two sons Thor and Conan. Not nicknames either. Those were their given names. Poor bastards. What in the name of Odin's beard were they thinking?

I have seen Thor live. Quite the interesting show. He can't quite explode the water bottle like he used to though.

I think the guy who made Thor's webpage and runs his fanclub is actually a MeFi member. You here, Mike? And you gotta see Thor live at least once in your life. The steel bar thing is fun, but blowing up a hot water balloon until it explodes? Entertainment gold.

This reminds me of a friend of mine in college during a basic science exam, encountered the question, "What is a torr?" Her answer was "God of Tunder."
The professor gave her full credit.

The thunder god went out to ride
Upon his favourite filly.

"You forgot the thaddle, thilly!"

autodidact: Who could forget Vincent D'Onofrio as the God Of Thunder. Or of crescent wrenches, as it were....

I couldn't find a picture, but Uncle Mike refers to the B.C. strip I remember as a lad:
ME THOR!
There is a great "BC" comic strip where the one guy named Thor, gives a Tarzan yell and swings through the air on a rope, and lands in front of The Cute Chick and proclaims, "Me Thor!". She just looks at him and replies, "I thought tho, the way you were thcreaming."

Holy crap that was D'onofrio?! Wow. That film was an enjoyable piece of fluff but I prefer the blues club scene (not to derail).
Back on track, I'm thor myself from reading about Thor.

Wow. This kid seems truly disappointed that Thor has put on a few pounds over the years:

Surely this dude must have covered "If I had a hammer" at SOME point.*

My longboat and I aren't impressed.
