Got kicked out of the boyscouts too. 'Cause of Norse Mythology. I learned there's a boat called Naglfar, built from the fingernails of the dead. Naglfar carries the Ice Giants to Asgard on Ragnarok.
To prevent this ship from being built the Viking pulled out the nails of the dead, so the Ice Giants couldn't use 'em for their boat.
Couldn't see the use of waiting till my campmates where dead.
