¥¥* norse myth. odin exchanged an eye for the gift of foresight(I bet he said "well...that'll teach me a lesson..never poke yourself in the eye with a spear..big grin...a bit like that apocryphal story of Isaac Newton sticking the pen in his eye..and weirdly enough..I believe he did it too!.he was that kind of a person..y'know..a cat-lover..like Sheldon out of 'Big Bang Theory'big grin)

*6..Raven is the first bird named in the bible..God sends him out to find land.
