I was wondering why the joke mixed the two tropes (caveman and gods)! At Merle's meeting in Stockholm in December, the first Swede I met had written on his name tag "Thunder Bear". It was a little hard to keep a straight face while addressing him, and it took most of the evening at a dinner table with him (and 8 others?) to discover that his given name was "**Torbjörn*" *which unsurprisingly translates to: "Thunder Bear". I thought it odd and unique but not surprising on reflection. At the end of my trip there, I took a one-night AirBnB stay at the home of a young (30something) man who turned out to be very fascinating to chat with AND his name was also **Torbjörn* *and he made it clear that this is a very common name throughout modern Scandinavia. Glen keeps telling us that "communication doesn't exist", yet we DO continue to attempt/pretend to do it! - Steve **
