I was reading this passage about Odin in one of my mythology books:
In the poem Odin narrates how he hung on a windswept tree identified as the World Tree, Yggdrasill, for nine full nights without food or water, slashed with a spear and sacrificed - "given to Odin, myself to myself" - until, screaming, he was able by virtue of his suffering to reach down and seize the magical runes.
Right when I hit the word "screaming", the smoke detector went off. And there was no smoke or anything like it in the house....My mom suggested that it probably got too filled with dust and went off, but still, I find it really creepy that it just happened to go off at that moment.... 0.0
