Entry 1.2: Internet Research

I recently have seen the trailer for the new superhero movie Thor which comes out during 2011. I always been a fan of him so I decided to research of the thunder god. While I was researching I came upon a story of Thor losing his hammer. I used google to research the story and I came upon two sites that had a similar stories. The First site was LINK HERE, I found it interesting but short, it didn't go into that much detail but the story on the second site I found LINK HERE had more detail to the story which gave me more of a image in my head while reading it.

In the story, Thor wakes up to realize his hammer is missing. He looks for it far and wide but no luck, he goes to visit his half-brother "Loki" who is known for steal, lying and being up to no good. Thor beats Loki up demanding his hammer. Loki tells Thor he doesn't have it but helps him look for it. Loki goes to visit the goddess Freyja and asks her to borrow her white feather cloak because Thor lost his hammer. Realizing the danger in this she gives it to him and Loki plucks a feather out and transforms into a white bird, where he flies all over looking for the hammer until he reaches the land of the giants, who are the gods/goddess enemies. Loki sees the king of the giants Jontheim who tells him he has stolen the hammer and hide it and will only give it back if Freyja weds him. Loki goes back to tell Thor and Thor runs to Freyja and demands her to put on her wedding vail and to wedded to Jontheim. Freyja gets anger and denies doing it and the Gods hold a meeting and decide that Thor must dress as a Freyja and get his hammer back with the help of Loki. Thor says no but does it anyway because he can't defend Asgard his home. Thor and Loki left dressed as women and reached Jontheim. The king not being to bright didn't notice it was Thor. They had a feast in the mead-hall where Thor eat and drank everything in sight where Loki covered for him saying "she was so happy to be your bride that she didn't eat for eight nights" and the king went for a kiss but was scared of Thor's fierce eyes where Loki again covered saying "she was so happy to be your bride that she hasn't slept in eight nights". Jonthiem again not being too bright fell for Loki's trick and was so thrill for her joy and he started the wedding and told his servants to get Thor's hammer which he places on Thor/Freyja's lap. As soon as the hammer was in his lap Thor grabs it and struck the King killing him and preceded to clear the hall.

There is a little extra I found in the other story. During Loki's excuses about Thor, Jontheim sister asked Thor for a bridal gift and asked for his red ring. But after Thor killed the king he also killed the sister.
