In Norse mythology, Sleipnir is Odin’s eight-legged horse and the son of the god Loki. Susan and Allen Crawford made this adorable plush of him for the infant son of a friend. Link -via Super Punch

First, a man tried to break into a flat carrying a pitch fork. And second, he was chased away by a man dressed as the Norse god Thor.

"Thor" was actually Torvald Alexander, who was dressed-up for a New Year’s dress party. Link

If you’re curious, Telegraph has a photo of Torvald in his Thor costume.
