I like this.

1. This needs a poll. I vote for Ungambilula... makes the most sense to me.

[frogmarch]

2. For me

it's a toss up between Ungambilula and Bumba.

[mr blur]

3. Me, too, but -

Coyote has to be in the running.

8. Coyote was playing the long game.

Create humans from a beaver now, eat out of their dumpsters later.

[Hissyspit]

5. Makes sense:

7. Living in one of the fattest states in the nation,

Ungambilula's creation myth sounds more plausible that Yahweh's.

[mountain grammy]

4. Very interesting..

as a follower of Yahweh, is one allowed to clean the house? Might be offing a few humans when cleaning up that dust.

[Curmudgeoness]

9. We shouldn't clean the house!

Those future human "cells" all over the coffee table should be protected. Why is no one trying to close down the Pledge factory?

[Binkie The Clown]

6. Bumba! Bumba! Bumba! All hail Bumba and his sacred puke. n/t

[Curmudgeoness]

10. Humans made out of tears....

whose tears? Whose vomit? And who the hell would have decided that vomit was the material that we were made out of? I don't think they thought this through.

11. I like it too!

Great meme!

12. The norse creation-myth is actually way, way more convoluted:

There was the primordial void Ginnungagap. Its northen part was called Niflheim and was icy, its southern part was hot and was called Muspelheim.

Eleven icy rivers flowed from Niflheim. Combined with the sparks of Muspelheim, the first life was created: The giant Ymir and the cow Audhumbla. Ymir fed on Audhumbla's milk and Audhumbla fed by licking dew from the ground.

Ymir's sweat formed the Thursen (frost-giants). One day Audhumbla licked the ground and hair appeared. The next day it was a head. And the next day a full person. This was Buri. He had a son named Burr, who in turn had three sons: Odin, Vili and Ve.

Odin, Vili and Ve slayed Ymir and formed the world from his blood, flesh and bones. All Thursen drowned in Ymir's blood, save for one family.

In Ymir's flesh, life came to be. The gods gave this life human shape and the destiny to live underground. Those were the Dwarfs.

One day, Odin, Vili and Ve were walking along a beach and saw a pair of trees. They turned them into a man and a woman.

Later, during one of his travels in disguise, Odin founded the three classes of society: rulers, craftsmen and peasants.
