Impressive number of Canadians here!

We lurk unseen...

The only way you can spot Canadians online is our American vocabulary with British spelling. And only we know what a 'double-double' is. And May 2-4.

Yeah I always did wonder where the word Warg/Worg came from

It comes from old norse, "vargr", meaning "killer, slayer". It was a moniker for the wolf ("ulv") whose name was dangerous to speak out loud.
