	In Response To: Mjolnir (Vid Boi) : Sticking with my mr knowitall attitude, and claiming I'm just trying to : "keep my country's old religious beliefs" and all that stuff, I : felt I had to say that the word Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, was really : Mjölner... False. The closest thing to a "correct" spelling is Mjôlnir. This is the spelling used in the old Icelandic orthography -- most noticeably, by Snorri Sturlasson. "Mjölner" is a common Swedish transliteration in vulgar use, but most scolars prefer "Mjölnir."
