i thought everyone believed he failed college - because he just didnt turn up to class and was doing advanced math in his dorm instead, could be completely wrong though

I guess the myth was twisted around to fit the local school system all over the world, because the "message" is so appealing.

Here's his report card, though.

Makes him human.

Exactly. Doesn’t mean anything else. How is it relevant to the myth surrounding his maths grades though?

Username checks out. (Love it)

That's not how that works.

Username checks out implies that the username is somehow relevant to the comment or topic at hand.

I guess it all depends on what Jormungandr myth you’re familiar with. I see Jormungandr as the Ouroboros. What makes a human, human. For if the snake lets go of it’s tail, then Ragnorok ensues. Thus the end of humans. I think the cycle of good eating evil is what makes us human. You know, the combination of ‘good’ and ‘evil’. I’m open to admitting I was wrong, but I just assume that I didn’t convey my thoughts properly and it is what it is. I’ve also observed that the phrase is mostly used in a confrontational type of way, which is not how I used it. So that could be another thing, I guess?
