Missed a toe?

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight Nine! I have nine toes! Oops I have ten toes!...I missed a toe.. nevermind. Futile effort in being lame..

Ahh. Mistletoes. We've heard so much about them. These little parasitic plants are often associated with Christmas and we're a few days away! And of course the all famous Harry Potter and Cho Chang kiss under the mistletoe! So what's with kissing under the mistletoe?

I found a good explanation based on the Norse mythology! The God Odin and Goddess Frigg have 2 sons, Baldr and Höðr (pronounced Hod, I think) and Höðr was blind. Frigg loved Bladr alot. She took steps to ensure that nothing would ever harm him by way of earth, fire, water, or air.

However, the mistletoe was not under any of this category. Loki, a mischief maker/evil spirit, found out about this single weakness, and made a missile out of mistletoe (Lol geddit geddit? Missile out of Mistletoe! Should be called mistle! -_- nvm). He then passed the missile to Höðr and guided Höðr to shoot Baldr since he was blind.

Ever since then, Frigg stated the mistletoe would never harm anyone again and made it a symbol of love and made the promise to bestow a kiss upon everyone who passed beneath it!

Cool huh? So bring a mistletoe around when you go clubbing or something. Then you can use it as an excuse to kiss a hot chick!

P/S: Check for Adam's apple on the "hot" chick.
